Default Re: 1969 Chevelle Build

Made 7 total passes with the car. Signed up for Pro and Test N Tune. Best et was 11.97 @110 with our 40 yr old stock eliminator motor. It is the same basic stock flat top piston, stock rod motor Jim Endicott raced to the I/S record in 1973/74. But with a GM 140 Cam, 850 holley and as cast Turbo 292 heads. As a newbie driver I had the usual flubs, no smoke burnout, asleep for all 4 of my time trial runs, etc. But when it came time to run 1st round, my daughter put her prized Bunny into the passenger seat and said that it was for good luck. Well, it worked.

.009 1st rd light and the WIN!!!!

-.021 2nd rd red light, but still consistent. Then a .040" time trial light to round out the day. I couldn't have been happier. Over winter we are going to update the driveshaft, starter and trans cooler lines. We need to fix the always on parking lights and build a 13.5:1 thumper of a small block to keep going bracket racing. I just need the seat time. I plan to run the wheels off of this car next year around Michigan and maybe one trip to Norwalk for their no-box Bonanza in June.

Thanks to everyone on hear for all of the support, knowledge and advice.
