Tom,

Sorry I could not make the trip up to Da Grove today. Glad you improved on your 1/4 times. I hope all is well with the car....did it overheat? You`ve got to improve your reaction times....Ask Darren about his R/A....he`s always falling asleep when we race.

Dan.

About 20-30 minutes from it's final resting spot I was sitting on 94 in a traffic jam and watched the temp gauge wind way past 240 degrees. I exited at Golf and as I did I saw the traffic on the highway break wide open. I believe the reason it stalled is that the alternator was not charging the battery. The voltage at the terminals was 7.5 at the roadside. From the time I stopped till the time I got flatbedded home was about 1 hour. Still a fantastic day.

Tom........Had a Ball ....got to see a lot of old friends and got a kick out watching your "Enthusiasm" for "Going" faster.........Just keep in mind where you want to end up as "Going Faster" is addictive........and "Expensive".......I'll bring my Nova to the next meet and we can "PLAY".............LOL

Ken
