Thanks, I will try to stay in this weekend. Not sure how far up it would have went, if I had not let off. I know it looks in the vid like it just went up to that point and stopped but, it was still going up when I let off.

I understand, I hope I can stay in it next time and run a serious time. My best 60' before that was 1.43, even with letting off this was a 1.33 60'. If I can put the kind of 60' that would have been with the way the car has been running, I should be very close to 6.0 in the 1/8th and in the 9s in the 1/4

Wow thats real nice I like it alot. I bet when the car is doing the lift it is prolly just a natural reaction to let off. Sweet car though and take more video next time too

Only here close to the house to check things out. The spool in the rear and the manual steering gear make it a pain to turn.

Word on tranny is not good. Major damage, looks like we will start over with a donor tranny.

Tranny is ready to be picked up on Tuesday. Guy that built it said he did not understand how it held anything to start with. I hope to have it back together in a week or so.
