What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?
AF150:
Gonna button everything up today and head for Ardmore tomorrow as well. Looking for
sunshine and 75° for a major spring nostalgia race.

Worked on my car tonight for the first time this year.
I have to re-work the wheelie bar. I made it years ago and it was never right. Car always went any way it wanted when it touched the wheel to the ground.
Since then I'v learned a little more. I read Roo-Mans section on it and decided to start over. I know Glenn will want me to post pictures but that might take awhile.
I need to re-assemble the engine and try a different 1st gear ratio and take some weight off the clutch.
We need to get back out to the track and try to beat up on Glenn ;D

This is really good to hear!
You were always faster than me, I do not remember your times.
You are most likely still faster than me as I will be running 8.500 or tiring to tune to that all season.
Take some pictures and bring the camera in with the cord and give me a call. I will come down and e-mail them to myself and post them up for you.
I was also in my trailer today, Steve was over. I got the head off, sealed the coolant leak up, head back on, valves set, and the NEW BLOWER on.
Looks like rain tomorrow, I think club racing will be rained out, and my swap meet is Saturday morning rain or shine, Saturday afternoon may be OK to see if it runs and does not leak. If it does Matt might finally get his wish and see the radiator, pump etc go away.,

Hopefully by the time today is over she will have finished fuel tank. Just finished welding the vent tubes in and the trap door to help control fuel on deceleration. adding rear panel and supplu tube tonight and finishing the welding and testing for leaks. Got to add cpl return ports also.

I got all my brakes parts (aerospace components) finally and installed them today and burned the pads in. just for thought, I check the head exhaust ports for temperature. the side with the zoomie on it had even temps across the head. the header side, the middle two were 100* more and the ends were 50* more. the heads all around were pretty close. just at the exhaust ports that were different. strange.
