During my lunch hour today I picked up my repaired converter and freshened up transmission from CRT That's Steve with the big smile posing with my converter. While we were at it, we asked Steve to increase the stall speed from 5500 rpm to 6000 rpm. These small blocks just love the rpm and the car should leave like a banshee at that rpm.No one ever said drag racing was all fun. It's a lot of work even though it's enjoyable work. This evening Paul Witting and I put the transmission and converter back in the car, installed the rear wing, the electronics tray and a variety of other little things. I'll finish up the wiring and fluids tomorrow morning and should have it all done and race ready before noon. That's me on the floor with my back to you bolting on the shifter cable bracket.
The next two weeks we are going to be changing up our schedule a little as we'll be racing at Sunshine on Friday night and in Bradenton on Saturday. Today I talked with the track manager at Bradenton Motorsports Park and we will be kicking off the Right Trailers Dead-On program there next Saturday night.
I'm really looking forward to having the car running at it's true potential which should be in the 5.20 zone in the eighth mile at Sunshine and in the 8.30 zone in the quarter mile at Bradenton. We'll see...
