Bowling Green and Tulsa

Looks like I figured out the timing issue with the new MSD 44. Test fire-up at the shop went great so plan is to hit Bowling Green and possibly Tulsa in September... Good news is I have enough Nitro and Oil for BG. Now just waiting for re-cert stuff to get back. Chassis re-cert is getting done next week. Bob

Time for Bowling Green again

Got to say the crew was very pleased with how the test fire up went this past Saturday. (5/2/2015) We always expect something minor to crop up after a total rebuild of everything but this time it was a complete and pleasant surprise to all of us. Motor fired up perfect first try, idle was close to perfect and fuel misting was very close Only issue we had was small fuel leak caused by a poppet o-ring. I'll take that any day. lol Just some cleaning up to do and into the trailer she goes for the haul to BG.... Keeping our fingers crossed that BG goes as well as the shop fire up. Bob

Bowling Green a Bust!

What's the old saying, never change more than one thing at a time? In this case I WAY over reached having changed the blower, Mag, tires, and fuel pump. While we had high hopes for the weekend, it all went down hill with a problem with the NEW mag that we didn't find until after 2 days of tearing everything down. Note to Self: If it's ever this bad again, check ignition first. Many thanks to Frank Ousley for the loan of his Mag to at least get us down the track but by then, we'd thrown away a perfectly good tuneup chasing down the problems. Next stop New England Dragway with hopefully no more issues and give Pete Jensen something to work with. Bob

Bowling Green and other races

Well, fingers are crossed that my travel plans go as I want. Right now I'm scheduled to be able to run Bowling Green this year and perhaps New England and Arizona. All the re-certs are complete and on their way back. Car is all set to go and new (to me) trailer is done with some great new cabinets. I head back to Cairo in a week but should be back in plenty of time for Bowling Green. Even my chassis tag is up to date but will need to get it done again at the race in BG. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Too long without nitro. Bob

March Meet? Well, maybe

The plus side of working overseas is it's a very good job with excellent pay. The downside is not being able to plan a damn thing in advance. I'm still planning on towing out to the March meet but not sure how successful we'll be considering no laps have been put on the car with all it's new parts. We'll be firing the car up again in about a week or so and if all goes well, we may just take a chance and tow out anyway. Lot's of friends willing to help out and Nostalgia Top Fuel needs all the entries possible. The only fly in the program is if they cut the field to 8 for the March Meet. No way will we make the tow going up against the best of the best when it's an 8 car field. Keep your fingers crossed. Bob
