Here's our buddy. Wish I could've got a pic with the air under his tires, but my trigger finger's too slow. :oops:

Didn't know if you made it. Did we talk and I not realize it was you? Did you get any pics of the orange yenko vega from VT? My gf's mother got a couple of it on the trailer but i'm still waiting to get them. Both me and the car we off a bit yesterday. Car was 3 tenths slow and it kept stubbling everytime it set the front wheels down. I went out first round, 11.10 dial, went 11.11, to bad I went -.006 red on the tree. Still had fun just getting to wind her up a bit.

jeff when car levels off, any chance of fuel starvation, or any chance of a loose wire shorting out when it hits the ground hard. good run on your dial. i know you dont believe me, but ill be ready next week(or following at the latest). perhaps we can meet at lebanon. keep in touch art

No, we didn't talk. I came by once and looked at the car, but you were in a conversation with a couple of ladies and I didn't want to interrupt. Came by a little later and I guess you were chasing down some lunch. Speaking of lunch, I had a great $3.00 hot dog with a bun that I'm sure was fresh in 1973. :lol: Got these pics of the Yenco.

I'm going to change the cap and rotor, clean all the filters and put new plugs in and see what happens.

That was my g/f and her mom, you should of come over. I was too busy running 2 classes. They had the run order goofed up so I was constantly on the run, never really had much time to work on the car or even check out other cars or the car show. Maybe next time...

jeff never saw those. car is really running strong. what did you different in each run. run by yourself alot of wheelie and the second run against a camaro, it didnt come up as much, but came straight out, real fast, with minimum wheelie. nice art
