I've been here for two days having a great time with Charlie and others at Bonneville.
Charlie ran a fantastic 160mph today on a 158mph record. He now needs to do it again tomorrow to claim a new record. There hasn't been any problems with the motor but we had to do a couple of patch repairs on other things, so we are hoping that they will hold up for tomorrow's run.
That old budget Yblock is amazing people around here.

Looking good Charlie.  Keep those updates coming.

A small flame from the driver side header called for a last minute repair to a pin hole.


All better now.

I forgot Charlie, Happy Birthday.

Still getting ready for World of Speed at Bonneville next month.  During systems checks I found this crack!!!






My fault totally for not draining the water out of all possible problem areas during the winter.  I took care of the engine block, but forgot about the water in the intercooler. All is well now.

Thanks again Ted, the instructions worked.  I've posted many pictures over the years and thought I had it down, but I guess if you don't use it (often enough) you loose it!
