I do beleive you are right. Now what would it do if the butterflies were open? Matter of fact I am not so sure the right one isn't.

Hey, Mr. Crew Chief -- you need to work on keeping Tom more relaxed. It looks like he was breathing so hard, it fogged up his visor!!

It's all I can do to keep out of his way. We had extra material added to the seat of his fire suit so it would last more than a couple runs.

Looking at the picture, I wonder if your cylinder didn't go south WAY early in the run, like on the burnout or launch. But however you look at it, a 1.3 short time is pretty salty!

So, Mojo...reckon we could find a more "proficient" short block to take the place of the now injured one?

I figure we might as well hook him up with about 512 cubes. That should set it back on the wheelie bars.

Jeff, not only was I breathing hard, I bet my heart rate was 300.

And now Mo and Rob want to give me more cubic inches.

Hey, I've got an idea!! You should get one of these:

http://www.polarusa.com/Products/Consumer/S210.asp

We can plug you in and monitor your heart rate from fire up to shut down... Then when Mo starts playing with the clutch settings, the nitro mix or the big cubes we can calibrate how you're doing in addition to 60' times, 1/8 mi times, etc. It might be interesting to see if there is a correlation between heart rate and reaction time!!

That would be an interesting experiment!!
