Back at the track again...

Decide to post up a couple of pics from this past weekend.

It was terrible air (95 degrees and like 90% humidity), and still trying to work out some fueling issues after switching to alcohol, once I get that straightened out then we will put some timing to it and see what we can do.

I think with decent air, and a good tune up it should run high mid to high 6's.

Yeah, I was happy to get the stickers off of it as well, the short version of the story involves children (neices, nephews, and my own son) wanting me to sticker the car and I compromised and agreed.

I am hoping to make the track a few more times this fall and get a handle on the tune-up.e

Moisture seems to be the evil genie in the bottle for a Alky race car that doesn't see much racing.Make sure you take care of business for that.

Thanks Matt!

Was hoping to get to the track this weekend, however....I am now coaching my son's flag football team, so my Saturday racing is done for the year. Still hoping to make 2 test and tunes before the tracks close for the year.
