Went to Sac for test and tune on Saturday. Found the track prep no existent. I did get my brakes seated and they seem to be working fine. The track and in general the place was really somewhat junkie. I do prefer Sonoma over Sac. I ran an 11.08 which was disappointing. I for some reason had leaking valve covers as well which I couldn't seem to stop dripping.

yeah it's an older facility, had a cheap/tight fisted owner {Dave Smith}
it's been thru a few different managers over the last decade, part of the issues,
it's not a bad place to race, especially when it's prepped,
they have points races there still too...
But yeah, it ain't Infinity/Sear point

I've actually ran some of my best passes ever
since Fremont shut down in 81-82 @ Sacramento, back before 2007,
it use to be a good place to test {good track surface}
you could get 10+ passes in on a test & tune day &
at-least they have test & tune sessions...

I'd rather have an old junky track in Sac. than no track at all too...

the rate tracks were disappearing in Calif., I'm glad it's not closed...

Have you ever been to Woodburn http://www.woodburndragstrip.com/
or Medford Or. {Champion Raceway I think they're still open}
or Redding http://reddingdragstrip.info/wordpress/?page_id=2
or Bakersfield/Famoso Auto-club Raceway http://www.famosoraceway.com/
or Samoa Drag strip in Eureka http://samoadragstrip.com/

most are older & far less $$$$ in the facility, far less overhead
then the likes of a place like Infinity has, comparing apples to oranges
{owned by Bruden Smith Z-Max fame $$$$, who also owns a bunch of Nascar & NHRA facilities}

too bad you didn't see or race at the old Ontario, Orange Co., great International raceways
Riverside or Lions or Irwindale etc.
 
I shouldn't complain. I was just hoping I would have had a better day. Sonoma Saturday if it doesn't rain.
 
Got my machined valve covers on today. no leaks (yet)
 
Canyon 707....No, it is Not the Indy $3900 kit. The head kit was $2300 which included the Heads, Manley head bolt, Cut to size pushrods, FelPro 1009 head gaskets, intake gaskets and valley plate. I purchased the Indy Dual Plane separate for about $500 and the Indy Valve covers for $169 plus the breathers for $25 and $50 to drill the valve covers and install the baffle kit for the breathers. I bought the new Mighty Demon Race 850 from Summit for about $650. The Gold Crane rocker arms were already on my car.

Well went to Sonoma raceway Saturday for a Summit meet. Lots of pro and super pro cars but not over crowded. I guess because of the chance of rain. (never trust a weatherman) Turned out to be a beautiful day. Actually more like perfect. After my mods of the winter with lightening the car and a few other minor things I finally have to say goodbye to the 11 second combos and go to the ten. Oh baby I was a happy camper. here is my time slip2015-02-28 11.07.30.jpg

pix of parts.jpgb bodypix.jpgNew graphics for the Coronet..I am all loaded up to leave for the "March Meet" at Famoso Drag Strip (Bakersfield, CA) on Tuesday AM. I will be there for almost a week....can't wait. March 3rd thru the 8th....If every thing works great I hope to hit 11.55 at around 116-117. Having trouble today with blowing the "brake light fuse" which kills the operation of my 2-step lauch module...can't do anything about it now (car is on trailer) until I get down there to the track on Tuesday around noon. I installed my new "CAl Trac" setup today with the new Cal Trac BArs and Cal Trac Mono-Leaf rear springs...bye bye to my Super Stock Springs and pinion snubber set up.
The INDY Heads are on, the new INDY dual plane intake, new 850 Mighty Demon carb, new MSD wires, new INDY valve covers....what the heck, only money...lol

I'd sure like to make it down to March Meet,
I don't think it's in the cards, even to spectate this year unfortunately
too many dr. app./stuff with ol'Pops, still milking it to the hilt...lol
