New best time

[Blown 472]

Went to the track on sunday for the last race of the season. The first time slip is just after I drove 35 miles and unloaded and got in the lanes.
The second time slip is after hot lapping the car and I had a back fire when I fired the motor and the smoke rolled up around the blower, I thought odd but ran the car thinking it cam out of the back fire valve, picked up my time slip and noticed some smoke. I found the intake manifold bolts backed off and it was blowing oil from between the head and intake. I tighted it and ran the last time before the rain came to see if it would hold. It ripped the 11.73 at 116 lost some mph in the lights due to some boost getting past the now smoked intake gasket. Loaded up my junk and drove it home, will put intakes in soon.

Congrat's on the new time record! I know you've had a picture on here before I think, but what kind of car and power Your season is just ending, our good season at the drags is just starting Of course, mine's no where near running, but it's nice to work in the garage when it isn't 200 freakin' degrees out there!!!

Hey man, I sent you an e-mail, but since your e-mail address is private, I'm not 100% sure it went correctly through Hot Boat. Let me know if it shows up.
