Kirby, our 1950 3100 racing truck, was out of commission for a while. Actually, we blew up the engine last summer and had to start with a new block through the winter. It turned out to be for the better. The new engine makes slightly less peak HP but more torque. Kirby seems to like that. Hi best pass with the original engine was an 11.73 @ 114.25 mph. In far less than ideal conditions this summer he ran 11.60 @ 114.91 on the only day we made it to run the 1/4 mile. While we were there my wife caught a shot of me leaving the line. I hope the picture comes through - if you look closely you'll see air under the front wheel. [IMG]
