SS Springs on 75 Duster
Another shitting day....but 10 degrees cooler....Track has computer problems....we get there 9 30 for a 11 am start...they have not starting running the junior dragster program....one of the timing computer took a crap...Vegas has 4 lanes...lane 1 and 2 are used for the Jr dragster...and 3 and 4 for the bracket cars.
So we get started at 3 pm...only one time run.....****...that is all i need....lol......car has a small bog at the hit....and engine has miss fire...kinds of bucks going down the track....head to track slip booth.....wow...that sucks....12.03 @ 112 mph......yes...the DA today is still 5200 but...
get back to the pits....pull the plugs...well this thing is very rich....and plus the plug gaps..one is closed...3 more tight at .022 ....reset them all at a safe .035....no time to change jets...actually jets are in other trailer that went home saturday evening...ok....dial 12 flat....i know I am going to break out.....wrong
Car launches....and at shift to 2nd....engine goes dead....and i see smoke coming out of the engine compartment...open hood i got a wire melting ....click off battery switch...the power cable from the starter to the starter relay switch laying against the header....i had it tied back....I get towed off the track....one of the track guys said...hey we towed this car yesterday....yes you did....lol
after it all cooled off i got the battery cable off the header...and it fire up and drove it on to trailer....
spend some money this morning...new plugs...new cap and rotor.....plus some parts to change it over to E85 like the other cars..
