Unfortunately not making it this year!!! UGHHH just wasn't in the cards at the last minute. Work got in the way and would be tight on $$ so next year for sure and will have car better tuned.. xxxx. Tell Millsap see him next year.

I run alky injected. also run water just in the block. there was an interesting piece on SWJF site from Jon Hansen on running water and he said they got more horsepower with water on same engine at same time with water than without. I like it for the heat distribution aspects. I built a small  header/expansion tank with cap on mine. I do have to put some heat into it though before a pass if I want a quicker ET., alky loves the heat.

Or you can run with a group like I'm in Southern Slingshots. We do a mixed bag of events. We have cars that run in the sixes to low tens.  A big portion of our events are "match race "style.  We'll pair up cars that run close in et and do a best 2 out of 3 runs. We do get paid for most of the events as well.  We are working on a format that run based on our best time trial and that's your dial in for the run WITH a no breakout! If you do break out that faster time becomes  your new dial in and so on. We are going to try this at Cecil County this June 9Th. It's a North verses South deal. Should be a lot of fun.

Its not they want to hide the cracks, its just that it will hide the cracks. You would want to inspect it through the year as you race it.
