Seems like you've always had the RT.
If you tuned that thing now we're in trouble.

Hi Gary.

I put in my Yank ST3500 and 3:42 rears. I had Andy at A&A do the tuning.

Hi Paul.

I am not going to the Winternationals this year. NHRA is trying to limit the amount of participants at each national event so they are excluding one sportsman class on a rotating basis. It just so happens that Super Comp, the class my brother-in-law races in, is being excluded from the Winternationals. So I will not be going this year.

Yeah I'm aware of NHRA's politics. They sure are pissing off alot of racers lately. I got mixed up...I knew it was a relative of yours I thought it was a nephew in S/G.

Goodluck to all WCCC participants!
GO C4'S!!!!!!!! :D :D

That's great Mike :cheers:

Have you gotten out to any track with the new setup yet, or will LACR on the 28th be the track debut? The DragNLady and I will be there.

Edgar - as long as you are out on the road, racing at Florida and S. Carolina... the natural next step is...

...after the National Challenge event on the weekend of the 21st, just load up your trailer and head West 'till you arrive at LACR...you'll have enough time to make it to our WCCC event on the 28th :D :D

Good luck at the national event :cheers: :cheers:

Mike, How much increase did you get with the tuning? Inquiring minds want to know. :D

Hi Steve.

From where I started in the morning, 15 HP. Don't know about the torque.
But the big thing is we think we solved the KR at 4200 rpm. I think that was
what was causing the inconsistancy... I hope so anyway.

I'm there unless I get a case. (Have to report for jury duty on Thursday.) I guess I'll just tell anybody at the courthouse who'll listen that I figure everybody's guilty, guilty, GUILTY! :lol:
