Gates open at 4PM, timed-passes begin about 5, and CCC eliminations usually start around 7. The Ford Drag Team pits just past the gas pumps inside the cyclone fence. Look for the blue awning. Who's coming?

I will be there.
Hopefully PR dosn't call it a rain out this friday, like they did last friday despite the fact it was sunny, clear, and 65 deg.

Hopefully I will make the sept. 13th race.
Btw the car is back together and seems to run a bit better on 8 cyl.
should I be expecting that 10.50 now,....... mines getting closer to being done. Got another summit box today.
I replaced the 4.10's with 3.55's to improve driveability (and because I had a spare 8.8). With the 3.55's, I could only manage a 10.83 at 124, last time out.

I doubt it. My tires are about done and the budget isnt gonna let me get new ones this year. So ya think you will have your monster running before the season ends?
John, only a 10.83? Considering thats only .06 slower than your best thats pretty good. How much did the taller gears change your 60'?

1.44 with the 4.10's at Bremie, and 1.52 at PR with the 3.55's. So, the rate of acceleration is virtually identical. I haven't run it much with the 3.55's -only some bracket racing passes, and you know what that means.

Some 13's? You have the slowest 10 second car I have ever seen....
I've dialed a 15.0... If someone is going to bring a 17 second SUV to the track, they should expect some fender racing.

I don't know yet. I just forgot I needed a 26spline input shaft for the t-56 & there not cheap. D&D's are like 400 bucks!! I'll try and shoot for the Sept. 23 race, but it will be close I think. I ordered all my 5lug stuff too, so I need wheels & tires. I was thinking some 03-04 cobras used for a good price & some Ford Racing FR500's later. Its starting to nickel & dime me now.
Great to hear you are coming. I assume Brandon will race too.
I have given-up on rear-seal-integrity. I always start the year with no leaks, but by this time each season my Windsor has always developed a leak. I chalk it up to crankcase pressure that this engine was never designed to handle; we've more than doubled the hp.
You'll hit 10's. I'll bet on it.
That's a Sept 13th race at Bremie. Get a move on; the season is short and the off season is loooong. Just use your 4 lug wheels.
You are running a T56???? You know what happened to my ET's when I switched to a C4, right? Plus, they are cheaper and easier to rebuild.

I know, I know, I built this car to be a fun driving car. A more highway friendly car.
And on the 4 lug thing, the tires on it are so wore out some of the belting it showing threw. So its either buy tires for the 4 lug, then buy tires again for the 5 lug,..... you see my problem
