I'm hoping to test Friday night, for the first time this season. Not sure where just yet. Either I-35 Denton or the MotorPlex.

Also hoping to get my brother to test his 55 Chevy Friday PM. He's interested in the MotorPlex race but not committed yet.

Race day at TMCC at Ennis

I spun the tires bad on the first run but had great run the next 4. No bogging or tire spin. Ennis is a ¼-mile track and I ran a new ET record for me at 14.375 and a reaction time record of .096. I won 3 out of 5 races. We had a 23 mile per hour wind at 100 degrees, with the nose of the car being 0 degrees. The average temperature was 66 degrees.

They had scales and my car weighed with me in it 3820 lbs. With a 96.77 top end speed calculated against my car's weight on paper, my horsepower was pulling 321HP contrary to the dyno challange's 222 HP.

Tom's engine with new cylinder heads showed a vast power increase. He pulls the front wheels a good 3 to 4 inches. He suspects the higher compression from the new heads made for ignition problems that I'll let Tom give more details.
