Updated June 23, 2016<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Video Pam took this weekend featuring Paul on Saturday, and the BC Super Shifters<\/em><\/a> on both Saturday & Sunday. We had a GREAT time racing our fellow stick-shift cars, but Paul lost a transmission pump seal during Sportsman eliminations on Saturday, and we now have noisy 9-inch rear gears in the ’57 after some HARD launches! We’re very pleased on how well the ol’ buggy is running! We’ll be installing a new Strange<\/em> center-section before our next race with the ’57 and keep the old Strange<\/em> center-section and damaged gears as an emergency backup.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since putting the 350 in the ’57 last year, the ’57\u00a0has averaged a 1.454 60-foot, 10.611 @ 126.663 MPH. Sixty-foot times are deceiving with our ’57 as I’m pulling 2nd before the clock where the car is not under power<\/span>. We’re pleased with that level of performance and I’m delighted with the new headers Chris made over the winter. They like more jet!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the averages with our old 331 over many years. 10.827 @ 124.399, 60′ average 1.492. Same heads, cam, intake, carbs. 331 had 5.83 rear gears, 350 has 5.67s<\/strong><\/p>\n

My sincere thanks to Chris, Paul & Pam for all their support and hard work during this weekend! And our thanks to the crew at Pacific Raceways<\/em> for a great track despite the showers on Saturday! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
