Almost there.....
I made the required two final passes, but, only one in the 9 second range. The car felt a little strange about half way through the first pass so I got out of it a little early. That pass netted me a 10.598. After adjusting the valves, and changing the plugs, we noticed that a plug wire had somehow pulled out of the cap! Neat, a 10 second pass on 7 cylinders. I missed the call for the second round of time trials, so I had to go into the first round of eliminations with no idea what it would run. I was running in the Modified class where if I wanted to stay in I couldn't run any quicker than a 10.0. It really didn't matter what it was cause I was gonna give it everything anyway, I had to run in the 9's. The run felt great. I haden't felt g-forces like that since 1970. It ran a 9.885 @133.49. Now I have to go back again and do at least one more 9 sec run for the license. I still have plenty more hp to use, so I'm not worried. Here's the clip.
