I finally drug out the digger last Friday night for T&T at our local track. Launching full throttle against the transbrake we ran 8.82/150.9 1st run. It pulled a little to the right then the rearend wiggled back & forth all the way down the track. It woulda been in the 8.60's or 8.70's if it were planted better. I blame it my weak burnout & cold tires. the next run was straight as an arrow, but slowed to 9.14/142, and I couldn't figure out why. The last run was under the lights in the left lane. As soon as I let go of the transbrake, the rearend jumped to the left and shot me straight the 'tree. I caught it in time & putted down to the 1st turnoff & loaded up. They don't spray the track on Friday nights, and I almost paid for it. As we were loading the car, I noticed it didn't sound right. Dad put his hand over each pipe & found a cylinder out - probably another plugged nozzle & probably what slowed the 2nd run.

 I'm going to start tearing the car down this weekend for some much needed cleaning, painting, rechroming, etc. in anticipation of bringing home my 14:1 406" engine soon. Hopefully I'll be running 7.90's by spring. At least I made it out once this year!
