The car goes to Tech first thing in the morning. BS member Vette#128 (Ed) is pitted right next to DF and Turk. Lee Sicilo(sp?) that DieselGeek tunes for is only a couple pits down.
I'm getting ready to settle in for the night, but the winds are howling. Kinda wishing I brought my POS trailer now, the tent isn't too happy =PEscaped on a technicality.Comment

THE LATEST UPDATE:
Not sure if you all know about the BBC swallowing a carb vent tube, but David hurt the motor on the first run, so they decided to make a two-cylinder out of the V-8.
This attempt is in a 2-cylinder class with an Open Record, so all they had to do was get it onto the track.
David has been scheming this configuration for years.
Here is a vid of the run, he posted on YouTube.
It sounds better than I thought it would ....
