Thanks for the sandwiches to.
hahaha, lets just say threre isn't much left of the canoys...
It got even worse I had a completely flat tire on the trailer and we were the only ones left out there.. I used a little cigarette lighter air pump to fill it to 40 psi then headed back to San Diego... stopped every 20 minutes to air it up hahahaha.. I actualy made it home like that... Can't wait to buy the SC setup...

Great runs guys.... I'm glad you had fun

So Jim, what's the plan to combat this "weak pulley" issue? Can you make a duplicate of the pulley in stronger material?

Great job btw your car sound like a beast. Any chance you will make Atco or MIR anytime soon?
Crappy times, 11.3 @ 126 and I shut down was best pass of the day. My first several practice runs I was just running to 330ft and shutting down because I did not want to make any half *** passes that might get me kicked out then the pulley went and it was all bad from that point on.

Was soo looking forward to reading about some clean passes from the CLKBS Oh well, I guess it's all part of the process, and I can only imagine how disappointed you must feel after getting the private track rental setup too.

So I guess its back to Illinois, and then hitting one of the the strips there?

that suck, not the time but the situation that happened, what happen to the pulley did it crack or brake off, thats some scary chit,

well if you wanna practice some more and they wont kick you out try to make it to Atco the 12th you can make thousands of passes lol. good luck with your build hope to see some 10sec passes soon.
