I finally got Black Betty up and running. After thrashing all week I took it up to Sacramento Raceway for test and tune Friday night. We finally got the plastic in the windows late afternoon and made it to the track by 6:00. We made five runs until some fuel starvation problems put us back on the trailer. Best time was 14.00 and a top speed of 94mph. Not bad for first time. We now think it will be capable of low 13's with the 396 iron heads. The rack and pinion steering worked great as the car tracked straight and smooth. What a thrill!
All my thanks and appreciation to everybody here at Club Hot Rod. You have all been very patient and helpful with all my questions. That the car ran so great the first time out is a testament to your generous advice!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
