Quote from: "dragrcr50"well after deciding to trailer it after the second time trial as it was never locking up i decided to just raise the shift point from 6500 to 7500 and it helped , i lucked out all the way to the final round and steve larue put me on the trailer too, i have raced him for years out here and he is one tuff opponent.  but i got the little check and went home proud.  next chance to race the J is june 28th  cnt wait,,,,,, gotta pull the converter this week again and have it tightened up... gotta love em ...

well after pulling the converter and going to the builder i found it was a 6200 stall, dayum!!! was in the vicky with the small block,  so now I have a new 3800 like i had in the vicky with the 468 and it bout tore my head off, hehe. Ill put it in tomorrow and then paint the chevy two over the weekend and  see how it runs next weekend, stay tuned, (Hooley)

I took the Henry J to Mo-Kan for the Memorial weekend races. There was a lot of nice cars there. A lot of good racing. I didn't make much of a showing, went out the second round each day. Had a good time though.

          Sam called today to tell me it looks like the Gassers will race at TULSA RACEWAY PARK sat June 7th along with Jet cars Pro Mods and other fast cars. tulsaraceway.com for info.

          MAybe this will be the time the Henry J and the Willis  :lol: line up.

        Monday I started to put the Bonneville Stude back together for Aug. meet. We're hoping for good salt and good time with good friends

The Gassers went to Tulsa for the Thunder Jam. We were exebition running. No entry fee and no winning $. They had limited the field to 8 cars . Since we had more than that some left their cars at home. Sam being the gentelman that he is , left his at home so others could run. We ran heads up on a pro tree. The cars were paired up to each other close to their ET's to have about even racing. We did put on a show for the people. BIG smoky burn outs, through the lights burn outs and wheel stands. The large crowd cheered.
The finel winner was Jeff Beck in "7 Deadley Sins" Coupe.    
  There is pic's on tulsaracewaypark    The next oppertunity for a match race with the Willis will be at Nobel, ok June 28 th.

Yep, hooley I went to Lawton sat night and ran a string of 7.27's.  leaves soft with the new converter but is super consistent, I think now i need a gear the 3.89s are a tad high.  maybe a 456 will be the deal.. but now we can run em for sure it is ready to race.  trying to get joe to drive my nova that night too.....stay tuned
