Well after some work and newer parts we returned to run the car again.
wind kept us from 1/4 mile racing
So we ran 1/8 mile

4:74@155 MPH.
So we made some improvements from last time 5:01@146

engine is happier now to get clutch to match engine.

Well the 2018 Heritage race at WHRP was hot to say the least 110 or so temps track was at least 120-130 easily.
4 runs and shake every pass.
Lost first round when I had to pedal it
new computer died on first run
So back to drawing board!
Still better than watching!
