Worked on the chevelle this afternoon getting it ready for the track on the 12th. Sure did sound good to hear the engine again, its been a couple months since I ran it at the track. All that I have on the list now is to do a front end alignment you know its bad when you can visually see that its really off.

Today I adjusted the rear suspension for less IC so the suspension has to do less of a job now that the motor is making some more umph. And I unchained the front end. I had it so tight that I couldnt move it at all in fear of putting it on the bumper. Now I have it reset to where I had it with the other motor to the point where I can top the suspension out pretty easily.:D

For the first time I was out I wasnt too worried about timing or oil level, but more so about making sure the motor was running smoothly. I put the timing at 35 today from a meek 28 it was at. And I also pulled 2.5qts of oil out of it, now theres no oil sitting ontop of the windage tray and on the floor of the pan in the front.:thumbsup:

Too bad this is the last time out for the Velle, I was looking forward to plucking Tweety.:D

Im going to need someone to send text updates to me at the Rod Run.:thumbsup: Its going to be cool to have pics of a Bob type wheelie of Tweety. Then its Monte's turn:D

It wont be the last time I will try to get some more races in this season for sure. Mostly first 1/8th milers only. See if I can get it to hook on the brake. Get a real nice professional pic of the wheels way up passing the tree.:yes:

Then its Monte's turn:D

So, is there a name for Monte yet....how about Python?:D

Unfortunatly, I gotta live vicarously through you all. :yes:


The first football game is Friday nite.:hurray:

If it all works out like I want it to this time out I will have to coax joel and mel to come out and snap some pics for me. The only wheelie stuff I have of the car is stills from video. Shooting for a 1.29 60ft, or a 1.40 on the back tires.:yes:
