Re: Mopars at Milan

Great turnaround. From 13's last time to 11's this time. What did you find that made the difference?

Sorry I missed it. I'm still going through my fuel system to resolve the surging. Only thing I have not done is to run the pump connected only to the tank to determine flow rate and to clean out the carb. I'm thinking the $30 Holley regulator with the 35 gph fuel flow loss through it might be the problem. There must be a reason why the next units are over $100. Should be running today.

Mike, thank you so much for making the long trek downstate to Milan. It was great to meet you, share pics, and talk tech.

I lost in Round 2 to a late model challenger. He was running in the 13's and I think I got distracted by giving up all that time given I am such a newbie. My reaction was abysmal, nonetheless I almost ran him down. If there was 20 more feet at the end I woulda! Ran 11.915 in that round...

(Mike, remember when I went to write a 11.90 dial-in and changed it at the last minute to 11.80? Argh!)

All said, it was a great day and I am still pinching myself in disbelief knowing after 4 runs we have the car in mid 11s. Not to get carried away but if we wanted to get serious, I think there's potential in that car for even better.

That and I finally got to meet someone from the 62-65 crew!

Hi fellas and gal,
Well, yesterday I drove to Milan for the event and met Jim Jablonski and his wife. I witnessed Jim run a 11.62 through the mufflers during time trials in his sweet 64 Fury. I did leave before eliminations were complete (220 miles home) but Jim was winning at that point! We'll have to let Jim fill us in on his results.
I also ran into a racer I met in the UP in March of 2015 while snowmobiling. He was driving his brother's car. I saw him break out with a 10.08 on a 10.10 dial-in.
It was a enjoyable day (not counting the sunburn).
