In my many years of drag racing, I have had races cancelled due to rain, snow, mud, bugs (yes, once we were bugged out at Gainesville because of love bugs), lightning, asphalt peeling up off of the track, power loss and now tonight, we had a race cancelled because Sunshine's computer system went down and couldn't be repaired. Humpty Dumpty fell off the deep end and nobody could put him back together again. And so, we all got rain checks for next Friday night.

I did get one time run in and the car ran the identical 60 foot time from Wednesday night so the car is deadly consistent. I was ready to race, however the saga continues of how to get the car running right again. Add more tire pressure, run less tire pressure, it's the motor, it's the converter. I've come to a decission and a game plan. This coming Wednesday night I'm going to bump my tire pressure up to 6-1/2 lbs and see what happens. Next, I'm sending one of my converters off to J.W. in Rockledge to have it freshened up. I'll throw it in the car when I get it back and if the car picks up, I will know I have a junk converter. If the car runs the same I will have a serious conversation with my engine builder. So, it's eliminate one thing at a time.
