We just got back from the Nosalgia Races at Grand Bend Raceway. We took first place in our class, (Nostalgia Hot Rod) In the final round we were up against a really tough 62 Chevy II. (in a perfect world there would always be two old Chevies in the finals):D We had a good light (.029) and ran 11.056 on a 11.04 dial in. It was just enough to squeek past by the width of a bumper at the finish line.:beerbang

By the way, we got the tunnel ram finished and installed. I'll post some pictures etc. tomorow but the short story is that it's faster by a couple of tenths and MPH is up a bit but it's a bit lazy at lower RPM's. I think it's going to work really well with a few small modifications.

Congrats!

Jim and Jim:

Congratulations on your accomplishments! Now I really wish I had made it to Clay City to see you and the car before you got so famous . With your recent victory and a bright future ahead, you'll most likely forget about us "little people" when you "go pro" :) :) :).

Always in jest,
TomK
