Are you going Stan? Is the Colt ready? |

It's not ready, but it's going! I think Seymour is coming down from the frozen north. I am picking some Dart Lite parts after the show. |

Sounds like great fun! Have a nice time and say hi to Seymour for me. I need to shoot him a call because I'll be up in said frozen north around early Jan... Best, Lou |

Back from Tulsa. Long day on the road. 750 Miles, left at 3 AM in the driveway at 11 PM I left Tulsa and drove to Miami to trade out some Lite parts. I got a much cleaner hood, trunk lid, front bumper and a parts dash board. Left Dale my much "Patinaed" same parts so he still has a semi complete Lite. Dale Riley in OK has a Lite project car if anyone wants one, CHEAP. Tulsa: Saw Seymour, Rusty, Shawn, Mark at the show/race. I just entered the Test N Tune because I wanted to run the quarter with the Colt. Made 2 runs before I had to get going up the road. First run I was having some carb issues and the RPM was sky high after the burnout. I went ahead and staged and then ran it through the quarter. Fastest ever for me in a slant car and it felt real solid and stable at the top end. ET was off, but room for improvement for sure. It ran a 13.29 at 107.7 MPH. You can see and hear the clutch tamer slipping the clutch so it is working. On the second run I missed 3rd somehow, beats me. Driver error. Seymour stayed for while, he doesn't let moss grow under his feet, and then he headed home. I told him everyone said HI.

That is a really good MPH Stan! My 12.70 run was only 105 MPH. You are getting there!

Very cool, Stan! Glad the MPH is coming up and ET coming down. You should be good for 11s or at least low 12s with some more work. When I raced Ron Hamby at Clay City around 2018 in my 68 w/turbo, we ran identical MPH (107.  and he was almost 1 sec faster (11.90 vs. 12.75). I'll talk to Seymour in the next coupla days. Bet he is home by now...Lou |

It went in the trailer under it's own power, it was a good day.

It did go back in like it came out. I was happy with the MPH, not the ET or 60 foot. I was running my 2.66 first gear trans and it really needs the 3.09 to go back in this winter. I also need more compression, at least a point or a point and a half. I am only at 10.5 now. I have to rebuild the Dart Lite engine this winter, so I might be building 2 at the same time. |

Is your 2.66 transmission and Faceplated liberty as well? |

Yes it is Rick. Both are in Aluminum cases. Steel Bushed Countershaft supports. The only difference is that the 2.66 has a synchronizer ring on the first gear. I did that to save a few bucks on the build. |

I've got a 12-1/2:1 aluminum rod shortblock you could get fairly cheap.
