Hey Duster Dave,
Did you have a chance to weigh the car?

Dolmetsch:
Congrats! You're right. Nothing like it. I remember the first time I went to the track with the Sr Dragster . A lot of IFs on my mind. The Starter guy and his pals did everything to prevent me from running (don't like six cyl cars) but the track manager stepped in and spoke over the radio which I could plainly hear even sitting in the car. he said" Quit "fooling" around and LET THAT CAR RUN RIGHT NOW" That was the end of the nonsense. The car was totally untried with 6 snowmobile carbs for induction on a homebrew intake. I staged, Turned her loose and held on. It worked perfectly. I went back to the pits, sat with my friends and talked for awhile then loaded up and went home. One asked me why I was leaving. I explained I had built the car from zip, and the engine was totally experimental idea plus the 6 snowmobile carbs. I had pulled to the line , it didn't bark, fart or stutter and ran straight and true. I explained I wouldn't mess up a night like that for anything. I went home and sat on the couch reliving the moment till about 2 Am. I think I was still grinning when I woke up.
I am sure your feelings were similar.  Again congrats!
