We missed the gate by 20 minutes. We'll get in tomorrow morning.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
It's so great to be back at the track, even though it's only been a few months. I tried a new clutch setup and totally missed the mark, spinning all over the place. Worked last night getting closer to what we needed and although not perfect at least we got down twice today.

Should we start taking a golf cart or no?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Weekend wrap up! We had a super fun weekend seeing everyone after a few months of down time. So we show up with a completely different plan as to how we'll set the car up, and thats because the only way to get this car to run previously was to gain as much momentum as possible before high gear or it would lumber along and not run. So, instead of leaving at 6200-6400 we chose 5800-6000 and ended up even trying 5600 which they all worked except for one small problem... I had the clutch way too tight. In the middle of this we decided to put fresh tires on just to eliminate any possibility of them hindering our progress. (see above video
 ) Now after a couple crappy passes of spinning we realize something just isn't right and a phone call to Cale Aronson confirms... I'm retarded. Thursday night we make wholesale changes to the clutch and Friday's runs although not spectacular we see a tremendous improvement. Now I'm assuming the car will run faster the harder we run it so I'm pretty happy that even though we've lowered the launch and shift RPMs it ran well. We'll make some clutch and engine adjustments and test at the D2 SGMP race in 2 weeks.
