So, it's on to another season - once baseball ends. We installed our back up Blockzilla engine on Ben's car, and it has run pretty good so far - stringing together a group of runs that were ~4 hundreths apart, with 60' times that were just 1 thousandth apart.
We've hit one race this season, and Ben had the 3rd best light in a 30 car field with an .005 - and took out the points leader in round 1! He went out in round 2 when he tree'd the competitor - but scrubbed off too much at the stripe and lost by a nose.
Although this engine seems better than our previous one I've learned that at a track like MGR it is quite hard to go rounds with that combination, so I will surprise him tonight with this Beast of a powerplant! I stepped up his program with a new Huddleston Performance Sniper 8.90 engine, hope to try it out at TnT tonight. I'm setting my expectations low since I seem to have a history with 'epic fails' when it comes to new engines!

At 3:30am, tightening up the last bolts:
At 6:30am, sneaking the Jr into the backyard to turn it around and reload it into the trailer. If all goes to plan, Ben won't even notice it until we are at the track tonight [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
