What a week!
My buddies got there Wednesday and Thursday but I can't stand the lines then so we got there Sunday afternoon.
Got 1 run in Sunday ... about 119 MPH or so. 3.6 hr wait in line. UGH
Monday got in best run. 124.02 on a 123.9 record. Unfortunately it was after the end of the 3 mile course so doesn't count.
Missed 3rd AND 5th. Gotta get the gear box to someone who knows these transmissions. My ham-fisting the gearbox is interfering with the runs.
The trans probs re-appeard in all further runs so I pulled the plug Wednesday and we went home. Drove straight through from Bonneville to San Jose.... arrived 3 AM. Will try not to do THAT again.
If I can get the trans sorted out.... and the carbs improved a bit we should make it to Word Finals in Oct 2010.
Whoooooooooooooeeeeeeeee
