Went to Union,S.C Friday night for a best 2of3 match race. I stepped the blower up to 10% underdrive. Track was hard to get hold of and I stood it up 3 times (hit the wheelie bar @330). The other guy broke,so it was only 1 run and I still got paid. Car wouldn't start and I worked on it all day yesterday. It turned out to be a bad MSD box,which I replaced with an old Accel one we had laying around. Went to Rockingham today to run 6.0 and couldn't slow it down more than 5.96. I treed all my opponents and stood on the brakes at the top end. Went to the final and ran 5.995. We had already agreed to a split,so it turned out to be a pretty good weekend.  |

E85 was on fire this weekend! Got a r/u friday in a 5k footbrake race. Got a win today in another 5k race. The car saved my behind on more than one occassion. Also, the temp today was around 85. I have never doubled this car, and decided to today. The engine temp never got over 175. The car was just nasty, and never could have done it on regular gas.  |

I-22 motorsports park in Alabama. Ran 5 7.90'S and a couple of 7.89,s in the left lane. The right lane was slightly quicker ranged between 7.87 to 7.88. This was in the footbrake class. I found out a couple of weeks ago that the car seems to repeat better with a staging temp of 165. Seems to be the sweet spot.

Cecil county drag-way sat 11/6/10
another S/S win for ME !!!!!!! was within .015 all day
that was the last points race i finished 5th and only ran two of 5 and won both !
won enough to pay the guy to fix the heater before winter sets in
with the 4dr 275x car we blew the carb hat off ,pull a rocker stud loose and were spitting water on the l/f tire at wide open throttle off the line and spinning bad due to a pin hole in the water injection line little hard to hook up 1200h/p in water so the three speed testing will have to wait till next year .
so we took out the 32 coupe and set a new personal best in full street trim as driven to the track 9.94 and got the warning that was a no no .........ooops hard to bag .06 when your pulling 100 lbs extra, short shifting and pulling .5 deg per pound of boost already. with the baffles in the pipes and air cleaners on there was nothing else to do but lift at the 1000 ft .went 10.20 at 115 stupid street rod/ show car decided to break a lifter after 3rd round lifting at stripe .hey 3 yrs of cruising and beating took its toll .oh well 1 out three chances anit to bad!

Finished up the year with a win yesterday. Went to Chilton County dragway and was a little worried about how the e85 would work in 40 degree weather. This is the coldest weather I have run the e85 in. Worked great! I will be in trouble if they stop producing e85. ;D

Hey, I actually get to post in the race results thread! Well this weekend a customer of ours wanted to race the boat we built for him (that was not built to be a race boat mind you). Well we went to the race and installed a high speed (which it did not have) and let it go. While having the tune-up fat and safe we took home a second on Friday and were battling for the lead on Saturday when we lost a distributor gear. Not bad for a river play toy running on the corn ;D. Oh, I did not drive it so I can't take credit for that. Here are a few shots of it this weekend.   Being that I do photography here are some of the shots we took of the weekend for you to enjoy. www.buzzzmiller.com/bpics.htmlPaul |
