Since he is racing Rockingham, Reynolds and Charlotte before St Louis he has very little time to make the conversion. Now he said that he doesn't know if he can get to FS/G weight. SMH LOL
If I fix the average on the 302/360 at Charlotte this weekend, I will switch to the 302/350 on Monday. My math says that I need one more run (weather permitting).

I also scored 150 pounds of lead shot yesterday. My guy will be making weight bars Friday to put the car in FS/G.

Now, if Robin could just get some test runs in, maybe we will see a break in the constant flow of tears.....

Well it will be a battle of the handicapped for sure. I am dealing with lack of runs anxiety . I agreed to the new combination but haven't been able to make any runs.

I think that if you stay with that 360 combination you would be north of 3400 pounds at the 9.00 per HP in G.

Even with you switching to the PI 350 combo you will be somewhat un tested as I am.
I should be able to get a few runs at Indy this weekend if the weather cooperates. Then home for a few days to make the changes the data dictates.

Should be fun.

Little update,

As you know this Saturday at St Louis (Madison) NMCA heads up with Daren in his 302 CI 350 Horse COPO.

I heard Daren had transmission issue at Charlotte and has to deal with that as well. I am offering an old Turbo 400 that slips in high gear if he can't dig up a transmission.

I made a lap at Cordova on Saturday and got some good data. Completed 2 items at the track and have another 3 or 4 before on my to do list before I load up for this weekend.

I really hate to talk too much smack because I know it can come back and bite me in the ***. Still hopefully I can put Daren on the trailer.

Loser buys steak dinner.

Robin

I'm glad you finally got one excuse off your list!!

If I lose, I'll even cut your steak up for you...
