Saturday we fired the car up after having everything apart all winter long. It was a tense situation for me. Even though I carefully assembled everything and double checked - triple checked every step - until it was running with good oil pressure and no leaks there was a weight of worry on my shoulders. That's all behind me now. She fired right up and sounded good. Tears running down my cheeks from the fumes and feeling the noise rumble in my guts again was great!
I've got a few days worth of work between now and April 18th to get the trailer and all our support supplies ready. Please come to Texas Motorplex at Ennis Texas on the 18th. We'll be there along with several other front engine dragsters and a funny car doing spring testing. Gates open at 8am Hope you can make it!

Hi Brad
Looks like you are ready for a big improvement in performance. A light race schedule with some new parts. I hope you guys can work a event in the southeast. I would be there. Give my reguards to all the crew.

I had the pleasure of spending the day with the Speed Merchants at Ennis. It was a spiritual experience.
I have been tracking their progress since day one. It seems to me they are doing everything right.
I was there to video some of the action. When David Pace made the first run the noise of the machine startled me. I don't startle easy. When Dave was driving for the Carroll Brothers he had "The loudest car on the block".. I think he can make that claim again..
Anyway it was a great day. I hope I get to smell the smell and hear the sound again before long..
