Ok so you post about driving the car to the local track but then say gas was expensive so we pulled it around behind a golf cart at BG, sounds strange to me. I heard it was hurt at BG and you were just trying to get through the race.Any truth to that?
Thanks, Kip
Kip, I don't know why you are worried about what I did with my car.. Yes, we pulled it to the staging lanes at BG Yes, when I was getting ready for my win in Columbus, I drove it 20 miles from my house to the local track ran it three times then drove it home and hit the throttle a few times along the way doing a little tuning...:biggrin: I also drove it to the local car hang out a few times before and after that race. Sometimes, I sneak out and just go for a ride when the urge hits me.. No block filler here.
OBTW, the car wasn't hurt at BG. I think I turned on the win light in the finals if I remember correctly. I did find out why it popped in the final round though, needed some new plugs after running all those rounds.
I did hurt the car in Norwalk. My 8 yr old aluminum heads finally cracked. Heck it even ran a 9.55 against Steve's 9.51 without any water in the engine and a nice sized crack on number 3 cylinder.
Put a new set of Champion GN1s on there and "Cruzed" down deep in the 9s ever since..
I chose to take it easy this year and only run what I needed to run to get to the end. Unfortunately, at Norwalk I had the head issue, and at the Midwest challenge the boost controller lost power and kept me out of the finals. Oh, I think I ran a 9.44 there when no one else got out of the 60s. In the end, the plan worked out like Don and I wanted.

Thanks again Don for an awesome engine that has been in the car since the Reynolds win in '07. Hartline Performance for all the tuning support and parts. Dusty for the best convertor you could ever want. Great reaction times and awesome MPH..
