Re: New project
Weekend started out crazy . My Powerstroke had the pickup fall off in the tank . I was working nights all week , so friday morning at 5am i get home and start dropping the tank . Had it on the ground by 7:30 and went to bed . Got up around 11 and started the "hutch" and "harpoon" mods to fix Fords better idea . Finished that up about 4 pm . The Luv is still on jacks in the garage . Finished the rotor and cap install and got it back down on the ground ( somehow i galled a lug nut and stud on paas rear so i replaced them ) . Started to load the enclosed and head to the track . Got to the track at 8:30 pm . This place was packed drag cars everywhere and it was street car night on top of it . Got 2 test hits in and i was feeling really good as it went .012 & .021 off the trailer 6.95 backed with a 6.96 . Loaded everything up and loacked the trailer up and headed home .
Saturday morning . Ready to race . Have my buddies kid crawl into the truck to pull it out of the trailer and i gues he hit the linelock button with his knee . Line lock coil burns up so bad the plunger o rings melt . 2 good time trials and into first rounds . Just a note only 3 guys on transbrake as this was just announced tuesday and still may not be final when the new director of Div. 4 gets in place . First round win , second round win , but the tach quites and it's done . Fourth round i get back and i have oil drips . i clean it up and im still going . Lights are decent , but not there yet . Anyway oil down and we sit for an hour . Cold brakes and i creep in to deep and go .014 red in quarter finals , but a good fist outting . Almost 100 cars
Sunday , Got line lock kit i bought for the White Luv , my old tach off the shelf , a few odds and ends , fuel , breakfast tacos and headed out . Found passesnger side valve cover gasket broke and replaced it . swapped tachs , and replaced the entire line lock and bleed the brakes . Good to go except left knee swollen from impact with roll bar sat . Got to the lanes and over here people talking about the new transbrake rule . I index race off a brake , so what the hell . .010 first hit . Went to 11 cars and got out run due to weather change and not taking dial out . Had a good weekend and im getting things lined out .
