    But who cares...I broke out with a 5.97 and a 5.95:woohoo1:

    We jetted the carb down 2 sizes front and back and I chased it a tenth on 5 passes. Thats ok though, I'll jet it down and try again(y)

    And yes I got it on tape...gotta do some editing but I'll get it posted.

    Here's the link for the video...this will open in Windows media player.
    If you don't like bluegrass music....too bad, I'm still learning how to use this camera and the only way I can transfer video is when its set to music. This is the best I could do right now.

    Nice Rick(y)
    Nothing wrong with a little Foggy Mountain Breakdown!
    Saw Earl Scruggs, Steve Martin and 3 other guys perform that on Lettermen last Wednesday nights. The call themselves "Men with Banjos (Who Know How to Use Them),"

    Alan that is a live stream right? you don't have to DL it first? I hope so...I hate to think I used the boards bandwith up on that. As soon as I figure out how to operate this camera I'll put together something decent.
    Thx for the encouragment ya'll, the car just keeps throwing me curveballs but it sure is fun chasin em:yup:

    I downloaded it, faster that way as it is quite large.
