You should be able to get an 8 second pass. Looks like you still have a lot of stuff to improve on to reach it. Good job :tup:

Ed are U running at ATCO soon? or is the season starting to end at US too??

Must say that the tracks we tested was realy nice, but same tracktion as home. We didnt change anything on Roberts truck from the settings he uses in all over sweden or europe..

We didnt even change sparkpluggs from the last race in sweden :D not even got the runs to try what ignition the strong fuel we was tu use in US, we think a couple of degres more would done good.. but with only 2 runs a day?!?! but a 9.06 and a 9.18 thats still good.

yes i think we should have some time fairly soon to go make a few runs.

atco stays open thru the 1st week of december.

You freeze your nets off but imagine that kind of air density.

think i might start puttin my motor back together tomorrow.

took it apart on tuesday for the heck of it to see how it was holding up.

still had the teflon on the bearings.

probably the week after this week coming ... :).

Ok Ed have a real shoot at it and good luck :D

If things are in order " if it runs dont mess with it" as in the case with Roberts engine, then they take alot of abuse. Roberts bottomend has stayed together for 5 years now, yes it have beet takin apart just to check when changing camshaft and so but nothing to see, as frech as when it was put together..

Glad to hear about this becasue its lots of money in a engine and I was truly sorry when the Hoovers blow up there´s, competition is one thing but destroid parts and loss of money that way is not fun.
