2013 indy ''backyardigan''

Larry Hill · 12-21-2013, 07:36 PM

Out in the shop putting up paper work and doing some filing, year end paperwork. I count 40 plus pulls that we did this year on the dyno. We checked jetting, cams, cam centerline, heads, valve springs, valves, sparkplugs, and timing. It was a lot of work and just a whole bunch of fun. I can hardly wait till next year to do it again, Indy is only nine months away. Almost forgot we went to four test and tune days to get the car to work.

I did not forget this: Merry Christmas to all!!!

Larry,
I'm sure you realize that this will be the 60th U S Nationals.

It can't be, it seem that only a few years ago we went to our first Indy in 1990.

Larry,
Didn't you qualify #1 at the 40th and 50th US Nationals? This will be the 60th. The truck ran at least 13.0's with a 6 cyl. It might go faster than that with a 350 V8, you recon?.
