Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

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.

Making tapered spaces for shock sensor mounting that will allow the spherical ball mount more degrees of movement before it binds and breaks off. Largest screw that fits the ball ID is a number 10-32 NF about .187 ?
Only a few more to make and a few spares. Upper front shock mounts are finished. Spring time Honey Do list is caught up but never finished.

When will Dumbo hit the track this year ?

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

Interesting. Was it a 12 bolt? I'm all about these speed secrets.
Thanks Lyn.

Upper sensor mount very little install and or service room. I might have to go to thinned hex head screw to increase serviceability. What can go wrong will go wrong. I had to call the reinforcements to help me get Dumbo wired, thank you Bob Toy.
