Great shots, thanks for taking the time to post them.

A bit windy yesterday with the course being shut down a couple of times due to high cross winds.

At the end of the day we were one of the last trailers off the lake bed, but we finally found our problem that kept us under preforming the last two meets.

Dynoroom,
Posting is my pleasure! Doesnt get much better than fast machines and desert scenery. I only saw 701 run once and it sounded good. I had to leave a bit early to go to work. Was it your ignition? I lost my crank trigger on the way out. The connector disintegrated. Got it fixed on the side of the road. Im sure everyone that passed me thought it was a Lucas thing...

[Dynoroom]

The fuel pump was going away. It would leave good but fall on it's face at the 1-2 shift......

Should be all good by the July meet.

Sorry you had issues with your Jensen but glad you got it sorted out.

701 not only goes good but is one of the best looking cars out there! See you in July for a new record!

I just don't think I could handle the blowing alkali.
Give me the clean salt.

Mike - mech or elec pump? I'm not giving up on our mechs until we need the hp!

BKB - Thank you for the pics. Always good to see the 701. vic

Vic, it is electric with a bypass. The block mounted pump wouldn't fit our chassis with the 2" engine offset and there's no room for a belt driven one........ yet. I'll most likely add a drysump mounted fuel pump when we do the turbo/efi system, like I've been doing since 1995. Works great

See you at the salt in Aug.
