OK I've been driving around with no speedo for over a year now. Its not needed as long as you know what the rpm's are at the important speeds. This is supposed to be a race car so why does it have a speedo in the first place

The computer gets input from the speedo gear, so when you put in 4.56 gears and the speedo gear is telling the computer that you have 3.55's there are problems, like revving into the rev limiter on every shift.

At least this was my understanding.

i do have my trailor to guys all you have to do is pm me and ask



Everyone, let's keep Sik in the loop in case I can't make some events (trailer wise). This month I have to make a round trip to Georgia, drop off a car and pick up a car on the way back.

I don't know the dates yet, but in case it interferes with the events and getting some cars to the track can you handle it Steve????

One more reason for cubic inches and pushrods. :rock:

I was at Emilio's yesterday and he said that he was running this Friday. So unless he changes his mind, I think that it's a go.

Alright, everyone here is the real deal. First, I have to give thanks to Orange395w Bobby who came over today to give me a hand and get the Race Car Running.

There was an electrical issue that needed to be corrected. One of the Fuses was making a clicking noise and causing the car not to start when I pointed to the fuse, he immediately told me that was the issue due to him running into the same issue. Once I saw it closely I noded my :nonono: Because, I let CWO touch it :rofl: Ok enough of that. (lesson learned).

He also came over once again and brought me a 5 gallon gas canister so we could put gas in the Race Car.

Right now 2 small things need to happen
1. One_sik_notch has a bolt for the steering bracket. Will install it Wednesday or Thursday
2. The Shifter still is not mounted, tomorrow I am going to try and find a bracket after work... Unless someone that doesnt work want to give a hand..:)

If we do not make a bracket for the shifter we are still going to run if we pass tech at the Q.... (If we do not pass Tech at the Q we will be racing at Barona)

If the car does good at the Q and no issue like shifting we will race again on Saturday...:rock:

No more than anybody else I guess. I wanna see that F*cker get down! I will bring my video camera. It's a crime that Todd won't be here.

No worries, I'll be there for the Barona runs. Just get her down the track at the Q and we'll see what she can do at a real race track. GOOD LUCK TEAM!!
