April 15, 2017<\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The crew at PR busted their rears all day fighting water coming up through the track on the top end and made it possible for us to get a couple time-only runs on the ’57 and Paul’s Mustang, both cars with fresh transmissions and both cars are shifting well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Off the trailer the ’57 ran a strong 10.482 @ 127.09 MPH only a tick slower than our best ever 10.473 last July in the old buggy, and I cut a .008 reaction time on this pass today. The car reacted well to the lower static clutch pressure we put into the car while we had the transmission out this winter.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After this initial hit we had a little surprise in store and we put Chris behind the wheel and he did a great job of hitting all the shifts in the ’57 and ran a 10.687 @ 126.27 MPH. Damn proud of him it has been 13-years since he last drove the ’57 which is NOT an easy transition from his Chevelle! If he got some more hits in the car he’d would be putting dad out of a job!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And Paul set a new personal best ET in his Mustang on Saturday, running a 11.857 @ 112.82 MPH. We’re pleased with that performance also as Paul has elected to make the switch to Pro Bracket this year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My thanks to my sons Chris & Paul, and my wife Pam for all their love and support. And it was great seeing our friends again at the track! So our 2017 racing season is underway! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I ran the valves today on the ’57 after the two passes, the valve lash was perfect and the upper end looks very happy! Plus the Long<\/em> shifter is still in perfect adjustment, love that when it happens! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
