Mods.......

well about 3-4 years ago I need head gaskets as one had a leak, long story for some other time!

Took it to Marc (he is 3 miles from home!) and when I got it back it had 505 HP, best set of head gaskets I ever bought!

it has his 500 HP top end, stock rear end, stock clutch, and flow master, headers and no cats.

I think it was 430 HP to the wheels.

after 8 years I need more seat time to work on the 60 foot time now, 60 foot was:
2.1971
2.0689
2.0490
2.0399
2.1139
2.1100
2.1139
2.0851

listed in same order as my runs.

street tires, rear at 18 pounds and front at 80 pounds.

He was our guy to win this thing and I had to run him, what am I going to do......I know, red light, run slow, miss a gear, something to take me out so Kevin can keep going!

And what happened......as soon as I got up to the line it all went out the window for what I was gong to do, I just ran as hard as I could, Kevin went flying past me right at the end, and that is when it hit me, what did I do, if I beat him I am going to feel like crap!

as I turned on the return road and got to the booth for the time slip Kevin was already gone with his slip and I could not see what he got. As I got up their to get it all I wanted to see was a yellow paper not white, they hand me a yellow slip and I was happy, Kevin beat me, I am saved!

I look at the slip, and I broke out, all the better! it was my best run of the day. I was set up to run 12.300 and the slip was 12.2449.

the days runs in order:
12.5891 120.66
12.3589 121.62
12.3091 119.74
12.3479 121.65
12.3441 119.65
12.3609 119.39
12.3441 119.65
12.2449 119.74 and I lost.......yes
