Well since you did not hit any walls I'm guessing the steering arm help up.  So where did you run it at? Hope I can make simular post sometime soon.

Yea that steering arm was a good one :) Thanks!!
Have not weighed it yet
I did think of you--one good run so don't mess it up--I came home with great first try

I am hoping that with a few more evenings on it work on leave rpm, tire pressure, nose weight, etc timing, A/F that it will pick up some though...if that is as fast as it ever goes I will be happy!!

I trusted my tape measure and just went for it.

I have been lucky with the engine--it is my first injected build. I have yet to milk the oil, she runs cool and just seemed "Happy"  I thought at first my cam was too small so I did not advance it any--when that rascal got in high gear--WOW! It was gettin it!

Waiting on cooler weather, that SFI 15 suit is a good weight loss program in itself!

You will always want to go faster after a couple of runs.

Dave that is GREAT.  I can see the look on your face even.   I ran my Worm car at Route 66 lost 9.0 index in the Semi Finals.  Ran 9.03 to 9.08 all day.  Sure wish John would have designed a better Driver as this one hit terrible lights.   ;)
