    This is really turning into a banner year for our cars! I think all the hard work and brainstorming is finally starting to pay off and Maybe we will see this trend continue and get stronger yet!!!!!

    Nice runs Bro!

    Here are 2 more. Won both races by 0.05 secs. Drove around both at the end. You'll have to ignore the blur from a bug hit at 100mph.

    You guys have killer cars and reading about them has helped me get the Lebaron to where it is now.

    Thanks man, April 13-15th will be here before we know it. I haven't decided if I'll take the car there next year or to SDAC 22.

    I was having a tough time getting the car to hook my previous time out. I had read that some guys were switching their slicks to the other side of the car. That's what I did and it worked big time.
    I was running AR51 plugs which have a cut back grounding electrode but the center elctrode is protruded. These worked but I wanted to try a colder plug. I picked up some AR50 plugs. They look like a much colder plug than the 51's. The plugs looked good after a few of my best passes. I'd like to find a cross reference to a brand of plug that has a recessed center electrode and is just as cold.

    Projects for the winter.
    1. Freshen engine and trans
    2. Make and install rear spring perches and stiff springs.
    3. Install roll bar
    4. Build an airbox and hood opening
    5. Paint fiberglass hood and trunk lid

    BR9ES or BR9EIX, very cold plug and recessed electrode. Regular and iridium, I ran the latter but my lastest head is sleeved and I have to run 5/8 hex plugs, so still trying to find a match.
