Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Got to visit Blackbird Performance and PMR a lot of stuff was going on in the shop. I did not take any pictures. Geoff wife took some pictures and sent them to me with permission to post them. I will see if I can get them posted.
Time to go to work.

Shocks are back, rear shocks are next. We are still waiting on some sensors. Installing a SD 300 Race Pack and new alternator. Doctor visits and basketball are slowing progress.

Researched a draggy front wheel. A part I made was to weak and it deformed reducing clearance to interference. The only damaged done was to my pride. New part from Summit arrived today. New dealer parts will be here Thursday.

Ordered my shock sensors yesterday. The folks at the Holley, RacePak helpline were very patient and helpful. They answered all of my questions: the length of this, the diameter of this, the mounting hole size, and so forth.
Thanks Tyler

I have one wheel that turns the way I think it should. I will finish the second on today. The best part of the last two weeks is my stamina has started to improve. Being inactive for several days took its toll on what I could do and how long I could do it.
I only have three more NCAA men games to watch to see who the new Champ is. This will be the 62nd finals I have watched going all the way back to Chicago Loyola OT win in 1963.

Zero drag is the is the key. Someone once said that Al Provoast could push his Oldsmobile wagon the entire length of ths staging lanes by himself. Ceramic wheel bearings?

Well after trying to get the other wheel to spin freely, I gave up and went a different direction. Working on sensor mounts. Not to exciting stuff.

Al used posi units instead of spools in his big heavy Oldsmobiles.
