Don't know exactly, and in fact he might have just been #1 after 1 or 2 rounds of qualifying....was still pretty fast. I was down in the bottom at Atco, of course that is after the system has worked HP has been added many times, truck class has been killed, FI has been killed and everyone is swimming in the same pool in stock.

Wow was I off, it was 2003 and he was #1 through Q-1, Q-2 and Larry hodge bested him for #1

Did you hear about the new Jerico's that shift all by themselves?? Yes, we've had ours on order, but it hasn't shown up yet. What gives??? They come with an automatic clutch release, so we don't have to go through the trouble of mounting a button the steering wheel. I guess we'll just keep waiting...should be anytime now...can't be much longer...

Mike, nothing new.
For many years, Chevy racers have either use the governor for shifting on the early trsnmissions, or electronics since the LT-1 cars first appeared in Class racing.
