11 second J and... project S-Bird....
Friday, April 29, 2005 3:14 PM
The weight reduction continues and it will make more power this year because I need to sneak below 11.30 to move up on the list.

Did I mention KQ4 Jake's G/A is for sale? Why I have no idea......... It runs 12 oh's though.

If Jake sells his, he can drive mine at Indy..... but no blowing it up this time!....lol

Good luck with the car this year. I'll be looking for updates through out the summer.

I have a funny feeling you are going to have to do more than sneak below 11.30 to take that spot. I don't think that time will last too long this summer.

I think Jake is potentially letting his baby go (if it meets the reserve), because he finally managed to do all the things with it that he planned, and now he needs a new project. If you had told me years ago, when I first met him at Great Lakes Dragaway, that he would manage the times he has, and gotten the attention he's managed to get, I would have called you a damn liar or crazy fool. He sure has done it though!
My only regret is that we never managed to face each other in a final at one of the bigger national events, the way we planned. It would have been a helluva race! You never know though. I'm not ready to count him out until it's sold and gone. He could always change his mind!

Raven,

We need an update on the turbo car with pics etc.

The GM small car bash ought to be interesting with other brand/models being added.

The quick 8 could be real quick this year.

Sorry I don't have any updates, it's not may car. I'm shooting for low 12's this year. I can tell you though that Frank's car should be ready for the GM small car bash.

Upon removal and disassembly of the engine, not so good... No evidence of spark plug remains, but there's light rust in the very top of two bores.

The short block goes in for honing and rings this weekend.

The head, well it needs intake valves, because they are friggen rusty too.. I'll upgrade the springs and cams while it's apart.

I suppose it's from the blown head gasket and sitting a few months.

This will eat into the go faster budget this year, but I still will be at the Bash....

Did somebody buy Jake's car?
