Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

[Halon]

Cool, good luck out there man!

Just going to drive it up and enjoy running some 11.3s@119.
I'll try to get it washed and maybe put a coat of wax on it for the first time, maybe ever?

A good coat of wax should net you a tenth due to aerodynamics.

[Halon]

Sand off paint, weight reduction.

Lol, well it will be for sale shortly after PG.
My truck just broke a brake line in the solid line part in the frame.

I used to think that was a big deal until a friend did new hard lines in the old diesel van in no time at all (they ALL rusted out). If you want his contact info, I'm sure he can do it for you.

Splice in and bypass rusty section. Backyard mechanic 101.

[dsmreck]

Yeah you need a better excuse to sell than that

[turbotalon1g]

Lol. I'm just tired of shit breaking all the time.
Anyway, I'll get to spend a day running a new line on that POS.

Car is packed and ready to go.
Going to pick up a manual boost controller from Carl on my way up to PG.

Good day at the track since I was able to drive home, but not without adventures!

Got close to BIR tried to go around some traffic and the car felt down on power big time, did another pull and it was lean by almost 2 points. I thought it was the pump dying, but it turned out to be the fuel filter.

That's my own fault because I have always changed them once I take the car out of storage and this year I didn't. Lesson learned.

Car went 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.38, 11.4, crap run my shift box ate it's face for a round, 11.4.

So then I called it a night every single trap speed was 119mph.

Figured out launching at about 15-17psi is the best I ran all 1.6x 60Ft times.

For some reason I really enjoyed driving the car today and fell in love with it again, seeing tachyon's car made me realize how good looking I think these cars are.

I'm going to be concentrating on cleaning up the paint as best as I can. I actually don't know if I have put wax on this car since owning it, but I will try to soon.

[Halon]

Time for some bracket racing.
