[Land-speed] Hood Scoops and Working on Race Cars

[Mike Lackey]

The only ones?  Nope, the rest of us just aren't flapping our jaws so much about it.  :)

I'm slowly making progress on mine (it will barely qualify as a race car, I'm building an I/GC that probably won't top 130mph), but there's not much to report yet.  I'm just starting on the engine swap and I gotta work on the honey-do list while I'm at it.

Are Mayf and I the only ones working on our cars in the off-season?   Nobody is saying much this year.  I changed from a 4150 Holley to a Quickfuel Dominator and had no idea it would domino so many changes.  After making new linkage and routing new fuel lines, I find that I have to change the hood scoop.  Since I will no longer have the luxury of a built-in air pan on the carburetor that the Trans Am shaker provided, I've spent the last week cutting pieces of aluminum and riveting them together to make what amounts to an oversize paint roller pan with a hole in the middle.
