Looks like weather may clear up enough to get some racing in

Who is going to give it a try tonight?

The H2O will still be falling for the racing. I thik, I looked at the Weather.com
I went Wed night and made one pass, I would have been able to get two but I stopped to make some changes on the car. I was caught in the rain outside the trailer with the carburator apart. Needless to say I was soaked and so was the inside of the car. The skys opened up and it poured. The rain did not start light, It just came down. WOW, I thought I saw an ARK go by.

I'm hoping the rain will exit eastern CT so I can load up (open trailer stinks) tonite to get an early start tomorrow am. Neighbors just don't appreciate the 5:00 am wake up call of my headers and side pipes.

Who said Chevy makes a product that stays water tight after 35 years?

You're right and you should get rid of that thing. I'll go 2K sight unseen.
