Well, we finally got to compete in an event this year. While still trying to tune the car in, we qualified #3 with a 7.74 just a tenth behind number 1. Unfortunately, we were put on the trailer first round due to some bump steer issues. Our new M/T tires are showing some hope. They hooked very hard with very little bunout and didn't even think about shaking. The EC1 chassis is very stiff. We saw .05 improvement to the .330. Hutch's th400 held as usual. We are still trying to find what the motor wants, but it looks like the Lukovich power plant will get us to where we need to go. We tried some Corteco gaskets this outing. What a flawless product. Great job Corteco!!! In addtion to the new chassis, I added a complete DTS rear end which showed no signs of bending or fatigue. Way to go DTS!!!I have added to the gallery so enjoy and let me know.
