Well we got back in town after 3 weeks of racing and testing. I am beat. But the car ran some good numbers. This year started like shit. It began with a 24 hour drive straight to Bullish Motoracing. We got the new program in and got the car to run fine. So we dicided to try the 2 step. First time on the 2 step it made 38 PSI shot a rocker arm off, wedged it between the cam and the valve, pushed the valve into the piston and bent the shit out of the valve. That was the night I was suppose to leave for Florida. So I proceeded to work most of the night and the next morning to fix it. About the time the sun came up I was leaving for Florida. I got to Florida and we got the car all back together and running and raced up to make the 1st pass. I ran a 7.96@171 with low boost. 2nd pass It ran 7.77@175. 3rd pass I left the rearend, axels, driveshaft and tranny on the starting line. That was the end of my weekend. I had all the parts except a driveshaft. The following weekend I went to Virginia for the Nopi race. 1st pass I ran 7.82@175. 2nd pass I ran 7.77@175. 3rd pass I set the national record with a 7.59@177. We qualified #1 and won the race. No broken parts. With the numbers I ran we did the math and figured the car is making 1160 HP at the crank.
Just wanted to give you the latest on my heap
