Update on the car. We installed the cal-traks bars and the split mono-leaf springs. Yesterday, we did a test and tune day. We did four time shots, trying different things. My last shot was a 10;54 at 129.64. And this track is almost a factored track, being at a high elevation. The Dutchman [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

sounds real good Benny! especially at that track. To see if those new bars really work the car needs a converter OR a gear changer. Leaving the line at 7,500 rpm's will tell the tail. Then we will be reading the breaking news: The B/MP national record falls to the Flying Dutchman from the mountains of Pa. at 10.46 at 131.00 in his 1970 nova. Its 1971 all over again! YEAAA!
