Update.... :P
Sat 1 st pass Blows the pinion gear out the frt of the 9", bends the motor mounts 2in. , trashes his
newly painted cowl, rpm's the motor , checks valve adj and spring pressure they
have not moved. good! He finds a guy with a spare center section in Victorville. Off
he goes to get it.
Sun. 1st pass 1.09 60' on rear wheels about 1/2 track 2 valve heads depart valve stem, ugliness
happens. The guy who loaned him the center section has him come over to his place
in Victorville to work on his junk. New set of cyl heads, 2 new pistons , hone the
block to get some of the high spots off the cyls, this was last I heard. This guy in
Victorville is into boats also. Blown fuel, and a twin turbo BBC jet boat. People like him
are the salt of the earth. Yep!! Kelly will have it ready for the March Meet. ;D

Paul,
What kind of stuff? I'm local and know a ton of hotrodders/drag racers in the area. Maybe I can help, maybe not

Hotrod56 The pisano & matsubara funny car is the one that coors heavy is with. Jeff Uttersback is the driver.He has a colum over on dragracingonline.com.
My buddy Kelly runs in Nostalga eliminator 1 a 7.60 index class. Yep Kellys sbc is 377ci 23 deg iron heads it makes some poop!!! A best of low 7.30's at 191 at 5600ft. Our goal for this year is a 6.99 at over 200mph. we ran out of fuel pump last year.
Lucky Stiff.....AWESOME offer!!! >:D Thank you! When the valve heads came off they really tore up the cyls. He replaced the heads, pistons,rings. The gouges in the clys were too bad and messed up the rings at the hit. He lifted and called it a weekend. he only got 2 qualifiers to make the field.
Thanx again for the offer!!! ;D I love this board!!
We can still cheer for the car that Coors Heavy is with. ;D
PS..lucky , if he had 3 tries for qualifing he coulda thown in a stock short block with some tweeks and help from you in it and tried again. Thanx for the offer.

WELL I COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. WE QUALIFIED 3RD AFTER 3 ROUNDS OF QUALIFING FIRST ROUND RAN A 6.00 @ 234 MPH RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. SECOND ROUND WENT OUT AND SHOOK REAL BAD WE FIGURED OUT WE LOST THE BLOWER NO PSI ON THE BOOST GAUGE SO WHEN IT IS LOW ON POWER THESE CARS SHAKE. SO MISSED THE THIRD ROUND OF QUALIFING PUTTING ON A NEW BLOWER. SUNDDAY MORNING WE HAD FIRST ROUND OF ELIMINATIONS AND THE CAR WENT OUT ABOUT HALF TRACK AND HE SHUT IT OFF THE FREAKIN OIL LINE RUNNING TO THE OIL PRESURE GAUGE IN THE COCKPIT CAME OFF. AND AT 210 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE IT SOAKED THE DRIVER AND THE CAR. BUT DIDN'T HURT ANYTHING ALL WEEKEND SO ON TO VEGAS IN MAY.
