I feel like I took this picture just yesterday.... where did the last 6 years go?



Just me and the racer,

Just wait Marlin...

You'll blink once and he'll be 16!

Still chasing.... We got the carb back from the race shop, all blueprinted and set up - still no rpm out of the engine. I feel like I did at 17 - no clue what to do with this engine. At least I don't have to stay up all night fixing it to drive to work in the am! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Looking forward to running closer to 12.90's soon. Benjamin wants to race this weekend

Still working on this car, not sure what is causing our drastically slow ET's - just checking everything right now, its like a completely new learning curve - anyone ever wonder how to check the timing on your lawn mower engine? Me either! Several nights spent working on it into the early morning hours - unfortunately, no measurable gain yet.

Couldn't hit the Nova Nationals due to work schedule, so we went to the Grove. We had 2 time shots Saturday, running a 17.66 and a 17.45, dialed a 17.55 and Benjamin ran a 17.67'ish - told me he lifted a bit! Oh well, he was trying to drive the stripe, she caught him at the end running a 7.94 on a 7.90. Good race.

We are working on any possible idea right now, hope to hit TnT this Friday night at the Grove. Nothing better than seeing a huge smile on your son's face as he's taking off his racing jacket at the end of the race - time slip in hand, just thrilled to be racing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
