I was going to go to Milan on Wednesday but, I think it's going to be hotter than I would like. Maybe next week.

I found my timeslips from last year. I ran on 4-25-01. This was my best from then:

60 ft 2.441
330 ft 6.590
1/8 et 10.005
1/8mph 71.98
1000 ft 12.928
1/4 et 15.416
1/4 mph 90.34

I put in the Energy Suspension engine mount bushing last night. The stock bushing is very weak and flexible rubber. I was actually surprised and a little scared at how weak it is.

I had just a short test drive because I had to help a friend pull the T-5 out of his Mustang.

I tried one launch in a parking lot. I launched it at 2000 rpm and it spun pretty good and seemed like there was some wheel hop but extremely less severe than I had experienced before. Too soon to really tell.

I'll do a write up in the Mods section after I put some miles on it.

"But I'll tell you one thing. There's nothing like building up an old automobile from scratch and wiping out one of these Detroit machines. That'll give you a set of emotions that'll stay with you. Know what I mean? Those satisfactions are permanent."
