Off to Union Grove in the morning.

Hope the weather holds out. Calling for some scattered rain Fri Sat Sun. Hope the old girl runs O.K. This is my first outing for the year. Probably my last for the year as well!

Thanks fellas. Bryan, the Bantam is nearly released from body shop jail. The chassis has been tied up all summer because my painter guy Rob retired from his day job, and then went out and bought a drive in restaurant! Needless to say he has been a busy man. The drive in is closed now until spring, so body work shall resume. Not a big deal to me, as I have been down two mechanics this whole year, and I have been too busy to focus on the altered as well. I think 2018 will be the year of the Bantam.

Saturday looks bad but, I will be there Sunday! Weather looks great and hoping to try some things and run a new best. Last time out for me.

 

[MRHP]

Dan, have your people contact my people, and maybe we can do lunch.

 

[MRHP]

Rained out Friday. Today looks better. Will be off to the track in a bit.

 

[BRYAN FUGATE]

How'd ya do?

 

[MRHP]

Got a best of 11.73 115 and then the trans popped. Split down the middle. Will be rethinking my trans. Car ran good, and every pass was faster than the last. Leaving much more level and at a higher rpm. It was sticking real good and could leave at 5000 instead of 4000. Still a good day! Dan, I am back home now, so you are on your own for lunch....sorry.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Oh oh.....got a spare???????

 

[Ishiftem]

Split down the middle!?!? Sorry to hear that. I'll have some nachos for you.

 

[nana1962409]

Well that sucks what transmission was it?

 

[MRHP]

This was my spare Dave. I may step up like you did. Not sure yet. Gotta do something for sure.

 

[MRHP]

Super t 10 2.88 first gear, steel midplate. It seemed to not like the 5000 rpm launch.

 

[MRHP]

I still had pump gas in the car, and the timing retarded 2 degrees. It was running real good for 93 octane. 60 foot were a bit slow at 1.61, but it was pulling to the stripe good. Was shifting at 5800.

I split a super t-10 on the street with street tires , if you want a t-10 you must have a cast iron or steel main houseing

 

[Jim Sullivan]

Sorry to here about your trans, but good to here the car was running well.
