I intend to enjoy every moment with the little lady guys!!

The Retro Cars Show is now on us. Its next weekend.... And despite my power plant issues I'm still gunning for a 9.5 second pass ??
I have some ideas of how to do it if we dont have a bad headwind.... So I'm going for it in a big way


On another note I'm happy to announce that the Slingshot / Digger that I also am involved with will now be ready for a good haul next weekend. After many many months of electrical problems I have finally convinced my friend to ditch the Megasquirt and coil pack system. And today we finished the installation of a front driven MSD dissy and coil + an MSD digital7 box. The old girl fired up first time and ran the best it ever has. The last day out she ran coughing and spluttering at half pedal to reel in a 9.9 @ 143mph. This was the last straw for me with this old system as I have had a year of problems with it. We tried all sorts of things to make it work. But 3 weeks ago another friend came over with his scope and we saw that the square wave signal we needed was lost somewhere in the pcb and all we were seeing was batches of spikey signals for the spark trigger instead of square waves.
Long story short...... We powered it up today, I sprayed meth into the scoop for 3 seconds and then it cranked but would not fire. The MSD box showed no signal from the crank trigger wheel as the LED was not flashing? I took me 5 seconds to check and find that we had plugged the crank trigger input to the cam trigger plug. So unplug one and re plug to the right socket and she fired up first time and ran with a nice idle. We have to observe MSA rules at Santa Pod so we also got the chute fitted and working. The car made 143mph on a fast rough idle. Now it seems to be running sweet I can see it hitting 150mph with no effort on our first shakedown pass next Saturday. We dont actually have to use the chute. But we do have to prove thats its fitted and working if we hit 150+ mph. We can tidy the plug leads at the weekend if we have time. But as its working I just want to go racing
