Launch,

Yes and no, the car ran OK, but not as fast as I had hoped. I stepped up the nitrous shot and it slowed down 0.05 , not what I wanted. I am starting to exprience the same high(6500+) rpm miss I had before. I think I might know what it maybe though. I found last night after the track that my new MSD distributor is not phased properly. If you don't know what that is, it means that the rotor is not lined up with the terminal on the cap when the spark occurs. This would be like making your spark plug gap twice or three times as wide. The spark has to jump the gap and the larger the gap the higher the resistance and the easier the spark can fail at higher RPM. I am buying an adjustable cap today and I will test it tonight. I hope I can work it out so I can start working on tuning my new carb. See everyone Friday.

Mark

Your a chef? Thats great. I get the feeling however that you have taken me the wrong way. You asked to race an import so I responded by telling you where I'm at on wednesday nights so that we could make a pass together and now your talking about cooking. I'm getting a feeling here that you have something against imports.

Once again we have those who talk the talk but cannot walk the walk. Looks like Mr. Macaroni Grill and his side kick z24 with their whip ass online cars are just that. Fantasies of the internet. I went out of my way to locate the 2 of you only to find out that your big bad cars did not make it. Good going guys, Now we really think you full of crap.

Before you go about running your pie hole, I was about to make the same statement about you. I was there I got in two runs and then left.

I was pissed about the 1.5 hour delay due to oil on the track and failed timing equipment which caused delays. I could only muster high 5 sec runs due to an issue with my trans brake.

I guess you were parked in the other pit away from the fast cars.

I told you how my car was painted so you would have no trouble finding me.

I'll have the transbrake issue corrected for Sat. am in Bradenton if you wish to come sign your death warrant. I will be pitting behind the staging lanes against the fence. So now that you have a geographical location not just a race track you won't get lost.

I will tell you this, that is the last time I'll go to Sunshine. That establishment is the most poorly run, run down dump I've been in some time. The return road is like a mountain trail and the right turn off of th strip reminds me of parrallel parking.

But it is what it is. Also I was #26 last night. If you feel like doing your homework ans go out of your way again (LOL) you can call them today and ask what kind of car used #26.

Later ED.

P.S. I think you owe me an apology on line as you face overloaded your...well an apology would do. If you get to know me, which you obviously do not, you will know that I NEVER deliver BS. And I find it offensive when someone decides without FACTS that I am associated with that type of behaviour.
