Dennis didn't mention, no red lights and I think he's got his 239 powered Effie close to running in the 17's. Try that on.

Thanks Frank, I got the calculator out, it was 1.46 seconds faster this year than last. Now I got to go for a gear change in the rear.

Hey John, Sorry for your hardship, but when you set the pace you do, something, sometime has to give.
Keep us posted on the rebuild. I'd like to see some pics of the internals on that baby. Probably top secret though!

Al:

Thanks for the support.  My next project will be going over my combine to make sure it is ready for harvest, so the It has a growl deep inside, there's a bearing going bad somewhere.  Hurricane may not be subjected to an autopsy very soon.  There are no secrets inside that engine, stock crank, C2AE rods, ancient Crane cam, .030 over TRW forged replacement pistons.  My wife now has a digital camera, maybe I can learn how to take and transmit pictures.

I still had a great time with all the guys, meeting new friends, and watching the racing.  Also enjoyed seeing Gordon have a ball racing my Bird.

As usual I had a great time! The Y-Block gang is the best! Gary's Bird has the strangest sound and launches so hard! I can't wait to see Charlie's shots on your tube. I'll see you all next year. Chuck

Y's guys rule!

Chuck, It was great seeing you in Columbus.That strange sound was the T-bird Y-block laying waste to the Mustangs !!!  Lets not let those guys forget Vintage Muscle ha! ha!!!   I'll try to find the carb in a day or two and get it on it's way too you.

You're getting serious with a gear change, Dennis.  I'm quite impressed with the performance of your truck.  6volts and a 239, getting rubber off the line with a low 18 second time.  Wow, I did not intend on that to rhym.
