I tried everything from 6000- 6700 and my car sounds sweet at 6700, but it doesn't go any faster at all. Normal for me is 6200-6300 shift point.

You could just quit screwing with us and lay down a number. We know you got the horsepressure on tap.

Test & Tune at Ohio Valley went pretty well tonight. I made four passes. The first one off the trailer was the best of the night.

If it holds together and we have decent weather at Clay City, I think I’ll be okay.

New best ET, MPH and 60 ft.
7.017 @ 97.50 with a 1.543

Howard and his wife Kathy drove over two hours from Bedford, IL to help! Them’s good folks right there!

Nice. I didn't make the Friday tnt. Had a carb fuel leak, and no bowl gaskets in stock ( every other one). By the time I got some gaskets it was too late to go. I'll see if I can make Sat tnt.
