Subject: 1/4 Mile Pass

Hey Ken,
We are coming back to the track Oct 1 to try again at a successful 1/4 mile pass and another track record in both the 1/8 and the 1/4 mile in ET and MPH. We are still looking for a 4.10/180+ 1/8 mile and a 6.50ish ET with a 210-220+ MPH in the quarter. Please prep the track accordingly. I would prefer to make an 1/8 mile pass first and early enough that we can do the 1/4 mile attempt in daylight. It got a little out of control the last time out in the dark on the 1/8 mile shut down. I need to get it right this time.
Thanks

How did things go Barry? I couldn't make it out there to see for myself.

About par for the luck I seem to not have. Everything on the heap was ready until I tried to start the engine for the last time before loading it into the trailer Saturday morning. I hit the start switch and found that the clutch pack had gotten so hot on the last 4.24 pass from two weeks ago that it had expanded the ring gear and had come off of the flywheel. Could not make it to the track that day. I have since taken the engine and trans out of it and replaced the ring gear. Ready to go now. Just waiting on the weekend and the rain.
