Thanks for the compliments fellas.

Andy-Glad to meet you in person as well. You and I would be a good heads up race! I ended up winning the award for closest to 10.0 with a 10.005. I selected a T-shirt which reads: "My engine runs......N/A.....Naturally Asskicking".

Yesterday we had 1600' air, a headwind and then I later found today that the o-ring had squeezed out of my McClintic valve which mean't my vacuum pump was doing jack! I wondered where that 2 MPH I couldn't account for went!!! One of these days I'm gonna get a good DA day and a track with teeth on the same day! Hope to post up some other new bests later in the year.

Pic 938 thru 942 captures most of the launch/landing. Eric did a fine job on the photography.

 

[crankitup]

That is a thing of beauty. Way to go Garret.:hurray:

 

[Eric68]

Nice job Garret! Nothings better than the look of a 1st gen with the pinion gear climbing up the ring gear . . . LOL

 

[Slowazzbu]

I like the wording on that T-shirt you got.

Any idea if and where they can be purchased?

 

[DOUG G]

I would be happy with the before picture, but WOW the after is great. Way to go.
Looks like Brian may be getting a lot of e-mails for help

 

[68rs406]

So, where did you find the extra .01+ in your set up ?

 

[nj69camaro]

Dragfab

And he really knows how to hook a first gen camaro up....

 

[Drag Fabricator]
