Well, Vic had a much better day than I did, car-wise. He may not have liked the track prep but at least he got down track. I had loaded my car up on my brother in laws open trailer Friday night so I wouldn't wake my neighbors at 0:dark:thiry. Naturally, it rained like nobody's business Friday night....
I guess I haven't updated here in a bit. So after our 'debut' at Arlington last month we did take the car out to Bremerton for a Friday afternoon T&T. Car ran well and was able to drive it on to the trailer at the end of the day, and off the trailer to the garage when we got home. Going by past ...
The Falcon lives again. Was out of town for a week and a half on bidness and was unable to complete everything before I left. But I finished it all up yesterday and even took it for a spin, much to the glee or annoyance of my neighbors, depending on age and perspective. Since I de-stickered the car ...
The devil lurks in my garage. So yesterday I fired the car up to test the MSD mag/tach signal converter (works) and the engine started climbing in rpm's, got to 5K and I shut it down. Took about 20 - 30 seconds for the revs to go up. Checked throttle cable since that was the last thing I had touched...

Somehow I'm getting a mental image of the Kanasa Craigslist having a used Falcon fer sale....... Alright, alright, I'll run the dam thing. I did hear back from ...
Man, youse guys are wearin' me down. I just wish I had a more 'racer friendly' racetrack up the road than the one I have. Maybe I just need to live on a better road. The Totally Awesome Missus Murff sez it's up to me, run it or park it, she's Ok either way. I checked the five day forcast and there's...
Thanks for the strokes, fellers. It does feel ggod to finally have this back together. Problem now, I ran out of money and can't afford to get it to the track! DOH! Have to go to SF on business for 10 days later this month, and the local strips are darn near done for the year by the time I get back,...
Got the Falcon lit off last week but quickly discovered that my starter wasn't really up to the task. Lots of kicking and bucking, nasty gnashing sounds. Pulled the plugs, spun up quite nicely. Plugs in, all sorts of bad nastiness. New Powermaster XS starter arrived yesterday. Installed, hit the swi...
