Did I miss the part where you told us how fast you went? Gotta love the patina on the 102 car, has he raced it a long time?

126.5 mph was the best I could do at Elmo this year, I was trying for 130 but at least I was faster than the last meet. 

The "Brew 102" has been racing El Mirage since 1980 I was told.  Sposed to be the oldest continuous running car there.  It's had different divers and engines over the years but it's been there.

Well congrats Tim its hard for people to understand how difficult it is to get a extra 3-4 mph till you have tried it. My hats off to you on a great build and good year of racing. Looking forward to following your accomplishments in 2012. Thanks Sam

Did the traction device seem to work?

With 5 passes were there different things you tried that worked or did not work to help the speed? What do you think of the dust patterns in the pictures?

Had a detailed responce all typed out then "LOCK UP"!  I'll get back to it after work.  Basic answer was "Yes" and Yes".

I hate that when that happens. It has happened too many times. I used to say "The Heck With It" (not in those exact words) and not rewrite. Now I write everything in MS Word first, then Copy and paste to here so I don't lose it.
