HAWT! Nice work man! So you didn't have to machine the head or anything, just slap new valves in? If so that's nutzo!

The seats had no visable damage. I think the seats held up because they are harder then the clamp was. I lapped in the new valves and they lapped in really nice. I rechecked the seats after lapping the valves and they were lapped in evenly so I figured I'd run it.

The day started out kinda ruff but got better at the end. After waiting fot the rain to clear out and getting no practice/ qualifying passes. I got disqualified the first round of eliminations. Because the car wouldn't make boost at the line so I took to long to stage. I Waited around and watched the rest of eliminations hoping they would have open testing after. They did so I made 3 passes first was 11.64@ 116mph I followed that up with 2 11.7s @ 117mph. All in all I consider it a good day since I drove the car there and back and raced with no issues. It was good seeing other members up there I will try to do better at PG13.2.

On a side note. Bald guys need the. Apply a 2nd coat of sun screen if they are going to drive home with the sunroof open. My head hurts.
