’70 Chevelle, Pro Bracket:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As reported the last time out, the Chevelle damaged our reliable TCI<\/em> torque converter in the 1st round after 169 runs.\u00a0Chris & Justin got the replacement TH-400 with the new, tighter TCI<\/em> converter in the Chevelle this past week. We were hoping for a performance improvement but the car is actually running a tad slower with the new converter.<\/p>\n

To add to the frustration in the 1st round this Sunday, the transbrake didn’t apply. After this aborted effort, Chris pulled the transbrake solenoid and found the pushrod had stuck. With a little spit & polish it is once again operational.<\/p>\n

’66 Pontiac Tempest, Sportsman:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul was running Torri’s Tempest this Sunday as the ’68 Mustang of Ron West still has some problems to sort out.\u00a0 Prior to going out this weekend Chris replaced the old dual-plane intake with a single-plane model. In the performance department there was no measurable changes. As predicted it gave up a little on the bottom end and improved slightly on the higher RPM range, but the end result was basically a wash.<\/p>\n

Paul lost a very close race in the 1st round running a 12.343 on a 12.36 with an outstanding .016 reaction time. His competition cut an equally uncanny reaction time of .013 and ran a 10.657 on a 10.64 for the win!\u00a0 You don’t see many of those great races in Sportsman!<\/p>\n

Barry Hobson runner-up in Pro Bracket:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barry did an excellent job today, getting to the final found of Pro Bracket with his blue Pontiac Tempest. Torri purchased her ’66 Tempest from Barry years back and it still has his 400 c.i. engine in the car. Congratulations Barry!<\/strong><\/p>\n
