Went out testing at Milan on Friday night.

First run was first and second gear only. Shifter hung up on 2-3 shift. Spun the tires.

On the second run I managed to get it in third gear but the shifter hung up going into fourth. I coasted thru the eighth mile with a 6.50 @ 104MPH. Sixty foot was 1.37. I determined that the removable shifter cover was binding against the 3-4 lever on the Jerico. After my second run I headed back to the shop.

Besides reworking the removable floor panel I also want to adjust the seat position back a bit, leak down, change plugs and look over my data logs. I hope to go out again next weekend if the weather holds out.

Driving out out of my shop.

Loading into the trailer.

Checking the fuel level.

Burnout for my second run.

Wow. When you get the shifter worked out it is going to be very quick.

Good luck George. I'm sure it will be flying in no time.

Made some adjustments to my CJ this week. Moved the seat back, adjusted the shifter, reworked the shifter cover that was rubbing the 3-4 shifter rod and put a Boss 302 alternator on the engine. The other alternator I had on the engine did not line up correctly with the balancer and resulted in the belt getting destroyed.

I went out to Milan this evening and made one pass. I was able to shift all 4 gears and get down the track. Right now the CJ is on FS/G weight. I went 10.20 at 132 MPH. The track was cold so I spun the tires and went 1.45 in sixty foot.

Here is an in car video of the run.

What was the track temp George? I was out wed. night for TNT and it was 62deg later in the afternoon and dropped to upper 50's the rest of the night. It got humid/ dewey later that night and my car just spun.
Thanks, Mitch.
