hey Jim, LOL

Won't switch, they roll too many spragues for my liking. And Lee's Exploded on him during first round. It's only the 4th one that Newberry has ever seen doing that, but as my luck is, I don't want to be the 5th.

I'll stay with the B&J.

I'll let you know when we fire the car, should be tomorrow sometime

Thanks for the update Randy, is that one of your old cars???

Nancy,

That is the new coupe we built last year that was in Denton.

The 1st Nitro Madness, the 23t car is in Chicago. Luke, one of Tom Motry's {Drastic Plastic AA/FA} crew members bought it. He is working on getting a motor and trans together to be able to run it.

Thanks for asking, waiting on the update from the trans deal,

Hi everyone, it's late and we're done loading the car, bbq and everything else.

fired the car twice, tranny worked Great both times. First time I was at idle, checked the computer, no problem. 2nd time, we were at 4000 RPM on the stands, no problem.

So, I'll try and get a preview done in the AM and I hope every one is well.

talk to you later,

:-)

BP, please email me so I have your correct email when you have a chance thanks, N

Don't mean to step in here, but ....

Could it also be, there is no load on the tranny while fired on the stands?

I just checked and Nancy turned 5.72 on her 2nd pass to get in the top half of the field. Hope all the shifting problems are behind them.
You go girl!!
