Thanks to everyone, Parker will make a hell of a race car driver...... it won't be long before he is making his presence known on the Salt & Dirt.
Thanks again to all.

Well we hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Parker was willing to share the drivers seat in the #701 modified roadster with his dad Ryan. Although if you look closely you can see he has top billing on the list of drivers...

Well, as Speedweek gets closer & it looks like we might even have a Speedweek this year, I thought I'd better fix some nagging little issues. The engine would run fine on the Superflow engine dyno in my shop BUT in the car we kept having electrical problems. So off to the chassis dyno to test ALL the systems as they run in the car. Lets see how that works at Bonneville in 4.5 weeks!!!

Besides, I know you want to see her nekked  :-D

Should be able to post video soon...

Mike,

You probably know and have checked this already, but here goes . . . .

In my experience of every instance like you describe above, the problem was resolved with a ground "buss bar", eliminating electrical issues stemming from irregular or intermittent grounding.    The ever present corrosion on an salt driven vehicle would play hell with obtaining consistent voltage, in my opinion.    Had a Trans-Am Corvette that was a consistent performance problem until the owner/driver (who was a certified electrician in his "day" job) added a "buss bar" the electrical system.   Problem solved.

Regards,
Mark

Good luck chasing gremlins! Hope to see the ole gal out on the salt next month.
