S/SS @ Sonoma

Those guys do know their stuff! The cam, yes stock lift..... 15 minute duration time. May be coming out to St.Louis with Benny Pfeiffer. Need to see the big match race, or races.

Cool...maybe we can rehash the whole cam thing over a cold one!

You can see the Fram "Air Hog" ad--- commercials
-----------1/4 pass---------

Why not!

Thank you for the support! We are proud to run the SYC decal and it stirred up lots of interests. Sonoma was hard on headers, core support,oil pan and front end alignment. Oh yea, and the wallet! BUT WHAT A BLAST TO DRIVE!!! We are working on the landings now. As for the cam, no big deal, less than .520 as per the rules and a 109 centerline. It likes RPM= 7500 in the traps and 64-6800 shifts. Watson Racing wants me to keep the rest of the #s for a bit. I am looking for good set of stock rec port 291 or 840 heads, trying to build a spare. Again , thank you for your support and I am sure we will have more air time soon with softer landings I hope.

Stock, Super Stock, and Comp are really the only thing left in my opinion! You got my support here in DIV.1. Keep up the good work.

Sam, I wish NHRA shared your opinion! I'm not near smart enough to even know where to start a class car, but class racers are my IDOLS...but from what I've seen over the past couple of seasons NHRA simply sees them as almost a "hinderance". I mean, cutting out events? That's just plain wrong. They built the NHRA, yet they're mesmerized by the mega bucks operations of the pro ranks.

NHRA better dance with the one(s) that brought them, or they're gonna become a wallflower...

I love comp!! My car partner is Jeff Gillette 757 B/ED record holder. His car heeps us busy, 354 cu in 918 hp @ 9800. Not a splayed motor, still a wedge Chevy. This car will humble you in a heartbeat. I wrench his car and he does mine. We are looking for a nice rig to put both cars in and tour together instead of running back and fourth between pits! Div 1 has got to be the toughest . Lots of racing back East. California land has gone sky high and we are losing prime raceways to developers. Mufflers on Wed nights keeps me from testing like we used to. Next year we are planning to run East and see how we do.
Back to work on the car.. Barry
