Well We made it back home safe and sound.... Little Motor seemed to take
Pretty well to the Krylon Overhaul.... and Chuck is exactly Right... We ran
out of Gear before we ran out of Motor.... Dave Dalgren recommended not
running the thing much Past 7500 so we didn't... and we were really creeping
up on the RPM .... Brad and I swap Driving and it absolutely Figures it
would be his Turn when it Gets to Go Fast.... I got the Fast Pass at
Bville.... Right up till I blew the Motor so he ended up running top speed
there.... and Today... there simply wasn't any point in running the Car
Twice... We got everything out of the Combination it had in it...... Brad
was saying that he didn't leave much on the Table... 183.6 mph.... Not a Bad
deal for a bunch of Junk.... Should run the car up past Two Bills at Bville
if it ever gets used as a Back up motor again.
Got Lots of Stories to tell bout this First meet in North America for the
New Year... But Mostly I want to Thank the folks who helped us Race the Car
from the List....
Rich and Bill Jumped in and made life a little Easier and I appreciate
it.... It's Really neat when you can put some faces on folks you Play E-mail
Tag with.
Keith.... #462 the So Al Special ( or semi special as the case maybe )
