Pulled the car off the trailer having not making a single run since Oct. last year r. I tried 3 times to get out but had 2 rain days and a 50 mph wind day cancellation. Car took off right where I left it and ran very consistent. Only made 3 runs but they were all close. 12.84, 12.87,12.85 @ 103.0,103.14, 103.21. Driver consistency was lacking and it showed. Great times with our Slanted friends and we drove her back on the trailer!

No driveshafts coming off the car in the other lane is good for Rick, the other guy, and all of the Covalt Clan! In other news, no one even broke a u joint all weekend! Greg |

Yeah, with Andrew's winnings he may want to invest in some solid U-joints!

Thought I better do some prep for the Big Clay City race coming up. Haven't raced since May and haven't even run the car down the road in 6 weeks or so. Added the remainder of my race gas mix to the tank and pumped the gas 3 times(No choke) and it fired right up. Took her for two WOT blasts out the road,and all seemed great! All I need to do is pick up 5 gallon of race gas and load the truck.

Very cool!  Angie and I were going to a friend’s for dinner last night and had to re-route because I-65 was a parking lot… The new route took us by Ohio Valley drag strip… I needed some methanol for the Challenger (Howard’s coming next week )… $53 for 5 gallons…

You think that is bad? Try 112 race gas, and nitrous. … I needed some methanol for the Challenger (Howard’s coming next week )… $53 for 5 gallons…
