409 takes top spot at Gasser Reunion!

[jim_ss409]

I just got back from the Gasser Reunion at Thompson Oh. As Jim Comeau mentioned in another thread I broke out with a 10.46 in the Saturday night gamblers race.
We did better on Sunday.bang we won the D/Gas class! (10.50 index)
Then they had all the gas class winners run off for the top eliminator and we won that too!bang
The car ran great and the 409 made it a crowd favorite.bang

Here's a photo of the staging lanes...

Way to go Jim, GOOD JOB!!! . I saw you make one pass Saturday afternoon (looked good).I walked around the pits but did'nt see you parked any where. I would have said hello

The man knows his car well! Pretty good for a mild build 409. Just think what they could do if Jim/Jim decides to build a HP 409? And two of the nicest guys I have ever met!

Hey Jim, great news!!! Seems like a long time ago we met at Primrose corner for 409 parts. Hey if you are thinking of uping the anti on the motor I may have a new stroked 409 short block for sale. Awsesome Job on the Gasser win.

Great times at a great track. Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, this was one of the local tracks that saw a lot of action .

Thanks guys.
I'm really happy with the way the car's running. The only change we made from last year was adding a looser 5,000 stall converter. I also pulled the passengers seat and side pipes to drop a few pounds. My best 60' time last year was 1.47 and I thought that was pretty good but Sunday it did a 1.36
