Nice runs and very good reaction! Cool!

No, the organizer do not spray the track with any glue. I am new on drag strips and have never heared about that.

All these timings are without a glue.... I have to propose them to do that, thank you for the idea.

This is what they use on the tracks

Mike how is the project coming?

[tabakoff]

Problems and misunderstandings ....

Pauter made the rods for 0.787" pins instead of 0.886". They confessed their fault so I sent them back to Brian Pauter.

JE Pistons made the pistons for 3.386" bore instead of 3.406" ....

I am pretty unlucky guy, this project goes very slow. Without proper pistons and rods I cannot initiate anything. I need them installed inside the engine, then have to assemble the engine and mount it together with the gear box inside the engine department in order to build brand new 4-2-1 exhaust manifold.

I have nothing to do but to wait for the remastered parts .... unfortunately.
