Cool pics Steve!
The tires are finally broken in and are getting traction. Peeled off a personal best of 13.64 yesterday and backed it up with a 13.62 with a 201-60. Need to change/adjust the governor to get the shifting up to 4,800 or 5,000 which should help out too. goatmanmitch also located a set of perfectly dated KU wheels for me off craigslist and picked them up for $60.

Had a great time at Englishtown on Sunday backed up by a near perfect day at LVD yesterday. Rain delays at LVD sent the FAST guys packing to Englishtown who were more than happy to include us in their festivities. Unfortunately a 40 MPH cross wind cut us down to 1/8th mile only.
Had several great runs & was able to beat a 71 Pure Stock Hemi Superbee! I've got some amazing GoPro video I need to upload on Youtube from a very unique perspective but don't have the time now to do it.....the screen capture will give you an tease! Yesterday out of 5 total runs I had a 13.37, 13.40 & 13.38 all in the 102 mph area and then two with tire spin & governor issues. Not a bad day.

I only got him John because it was 1/8th mile - he had almost caught me by the line.

that's a nice bracket car, with those three numbers.
so, you leave it in drive and let it shift for itself? got a video going against the '69 charger 500? something went wrong when it hit high gear. wait a minute, i think i see myself in the stands

Matt, I assume you were at LVD on Monday. You must've seen my car having issues. It was running great on Sunday at Englishtown, but not to leave well enough alone I messed with it before the first run on Monday at LVD and it didn't like it at all!

Yes, I leave it in drive going down the track and have been playing with the weights & springs in the governor to get the right shift points, but I was way off on that run. I left the line fine but went well over 5000 and finally had to lift to get it to shift, then in 2nd you can hear a noise in the video that I have no idea what it was, but the trip was not a pleasant one! Swapped the governor again and got those three close times on the next three runs shifting at 4500 & 4800.  I'll load up that video tomorrow for diagnostics - it's in car & you can hear the noise!
