Thanks Gordon, I already talked to Dynamic, and some other place that used to sell the kits and they both said they are out of the clutch auto business

Anybody still have a clutch turbo transmission laying around? I'd like to try one in a gasser project. Or even the parts to build one

Sat. the 5th will be more or less a test and tune day. I think Sun. will be an actual race. I haven't ran mine since I added a vacuum pump setup on it, so I'm just curious as to if it picks it up any at all. Plus it is about the last chance to get out and play locally until spring.

Good to hear you've got it sorted out! Are you planning to come to Farmington swap meet race? I'll be bringing mine as long as the forcast is dry that weekend

David built my chassis as well, he did very nice work, but I'm not sure he is in the business anymore.

Welcome aboard, there's a wealth of knowledge amongst the seasoned FED guys here.

Chris is right on the money, order 10. If you burn or break one, you'll lose a lot of time waiting for a replacement, and most piston companies will sock it to you on price if they have to make you one custom slug

That's good news. Any word on Wilkesboro yet? They have a nostalgia race on the schedule for May 2nd

Looks great! Did you build the fuel tank or buy it?

Sounds good to me. Piedmont or Farmington aren't to bad of a pull for me

Kind of surprised Piedmont isn't opening for something myself.

Sounds good to me Chris, Mike, the track operator asked me if I knew of a few more cars that would get together to come over and put on a show if we ever get to go racing, so having you come up for a test session would probably have him really interested.  I finally have the car going straight, and fairly consistent, but it was a lot more fun to drive when it was acting crazy...lol Just let me know if you want to come up for some test time and I'll be sure to get over there at the same time
