Well, we were good early and bad late. We ran second in the heat
to #11 Mark Jones, then 11th in the feature. We are still trying
to solve the initial choking of the motor and solve the forward
bite problem...<more later!>

Well after last weeks “did not qualify,” it was a pretty lousy
week, but I really tried to use that disappoint as a positive to
get the car and the driver right. So Don Sharkey and myself

luckily got to draw pills, but it didn't help me. Even

It has been another exhausting week with no racing... another
rain out! This week I changed the chassis setup (increased
RF negative camber and changed RR spring) and this weekend I
yanked the motor preparing for the new one this week and built

transmission. During the off-season, I installed a drive
shaft safety hoop and I made great use of it tonight... the
tranny sat right on it! |

It has been an exhausting three weeks, but the Thunderbird is
ready to rock and roll again. After the wreck three weeks
