Best turn out I've seen at Milan in a while. 150+ no box. Time trials started good [email protected] First round I roll up. Both batteries dead. I'm by myself. Hunt around asking people. A Chevy guy down the row from me offers to tow me back, thank you, thank you. Battery charger had quit. I should have checked with the voltmeter but didn't. Disassemble the charger, find the issue, buy back. Round 2 .021 coast thru at 9.35/123. Round 3 fortunately my opponent red lights as the trans loses 3rd gear at 1000 ft, motor zings to 7500. Pull off at the end, no leaks, good oil pressure. All trans gears function, drive back. Oops, I forgot to add fluid after this weeks tail shaft repair. I think it sucked the trans pan dry. Add 2 quarts fluid , will it fix it? Yup, round 4, .021 9.28/9.27 Round 5 take the tree by .047, easy win except the car is skating all over down track, spooky. Round 6 take the tree by .007 and drive by him by 21 MPH, he goes under by .001. Round 7 my opponent dialed 8.95 my car fell off by .005 last round in 330. What to do? I dial 9.32. I'm .008 to his .066. I figured his car would run 155ish, nope 147 I take way to much stripe. He goes 8.94/8.95 I go 9.30/9.32 End of the night. I was pretty happy. A lot of problems, never got flustered. Who says you need big tires, trans brake and a 2 step?
