Today we took the ’57 out to Pacific Raceways<\/em> for its last field trip of 2013, and Paul was driving Torri’s Pontiac in Sportsman attempting to wrap up the 2013 Sportsman Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the drizzle cleared up in the morning and the track was dried, I was first up with the ’57 in Pro Bracket. Once again we buzzed the tires on the starting line and only mustered a 10.971 @ 124.14 mph. The good news is after Chris replaced our old fuel tank with a foam-filled fuel cell prior to this race our high gear drop of fuel pressure is resolved. I had 7 psi in the lights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We lowered the launch to 7300 for our 2nd time hit and the car left much better (pictured below) but the transmission blocked out going into 2nd gear. This also happened in the 1st round so we have some transmission issues – likely the 2nd gear pro shift ring and slider – \u00a0to address over the winter. We’ll also be replacing our old, crusty Kustom<\/em> headers with Stahl <\/em>headers\u00a0and putting on new Hoosier<\/em> slicks since Goodyear has discontinued our tire size.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tempest was running well today but Paul was a bit late on the tree in the 1st round and lost, but he did pick up 30 valuable points and is still currently the points leader.\u00a0Paul then went into the Gambler race and went a couple rounds before being eliminated by a -.007 redlight<\/span>. After this round Chris jetted the carburetor for the upcoming Division 6 ET Finals at Spokane next weekend using the data from Boise – both tracks are similar elevations and predicted temperatures, so the Tempest is ready to go! After the Spokane race there is only one points race remaining at PR which could<\/em> decide\u00a0the 2013\u00a0Sportsman track championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My thanks to\u00a0Chris, Justin, Paul & Pam\u00a0for all their help with the ’57 this season. Not the best season by a long shot\u00a0but the motor held up well so I’m happy! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
