Paul, thanks for the write up! I didn't expect all of that. I am surprised at the attention it got at the show. I never planned on putting it in the show, but it wasn't going to sit in the general parking lot! Worth the extra $5.

And thank you all for the kind words.

To Maple Grove tomorrow after work! Hope the eastern weather holds out? I know how much Sammy likes the rain.

Great night. Only took a few shots with my cell. Will have to offload the DSLR later. Don't want to keep you guys in suspense so Jed's very first pass in the Tone Blue Nova went 14.5. No wheel spin and leaving it in D! More to come..

I know I have some bugs to work out, but it was a fun night in true racer fashion. Slicks and tools in the trunk and friends to help out with a broken wheel stud in a pinch. I didn't know my own strength. Atleast that's the only thing that broke.

Thanks for coming out Paul!

PS, I don't have any solid evidence that the Rev-Pol switch actually does anything?? But that will have to be proven.

That's an Awsome shot Paul!

Plumbers Apprentice out.

For those keeping score, those Cragar G/T's on the front with the radials are yet another set Jed has, so the bias redline can get swapped on at anytime he feels like it. Arrived with the slicks in the trunk swapped them on before tech.





Passed tech easily. Both inspectors gave a nice compliment saying the Nova was one of the nicest cars there that evening!





Rev-Pol Engaged!

Thanks Paul!

The numbers weren't satisfactory to me, so I went back through the distributor and found that my advance plunger had the leather chewed off the end of it and I never maxed out my advance weight plate. Swapped in a non vac advance distributor and readjusted the timing. Now it likes 16 degrees initial and what a difference!

This is from a local car show yesterday. I had no clue they were judging the show. I guess my fiance and I will be eating good!
