GAV Rocket - 88

[One_Track_Mind]

Hey Gary!
The rocket has landed in Ohio!

That makes 25 of 26!
I believe John H. car will be arriving real soon.

The car will go out in a day or so Brian...things have been really busy over here, but it's all back together again. I was even able to reuse the same gearset. The mesh is kinda noisy but it seems OK. I wound up another #28 as was in the car originally, but took off a few turns and used my special pattern and wound as a hemi...should be interesting.

Wow Ray what a score! Steve-a-roonie did all of us proud! Thanks again Steve. (You will have a box as soon as I can get it out I'm waiting for something special 'fer ya)
Wow John another #28 with less turns and Hemi! Hope it runs cool enough!

WoW.....What a Surprise.........I was away at the R/4/5 for Four Days. My wife called and said I received a package from England. I told her I had no idea what it was or who it was from. I got back late last night and opened the package.........To my surprise..it contained a Holdsworth Racing Team Bag. It is used to carry various items and nutrition while racing or training. It came from none other than
Steve Kempson...........How very thoughtful...........Many Thanks

Super NICE !!! Very thoughtful.

No biggie Barn, the series is almost over and if it goes up in a puff of smoke, better that than just strolling around the track. It's not just a hemi though (my "special pattern"), so I have high hopes for this arm. I never could figure out why the last one was running so poorly. It ran like a stock 26D when I got it reassembled with the original arm...but it still metered fine. Anyway...onward!

Jus' don't build any "smoke" into it John!

[Jairus]

Putting smoke IN is not the problem... it's when it gets let out.

[Gator Bob]

These worked well.

March 19th, 2012 - Hello, update! The track is assembled, and ready for some power!

[Jairus]

Final? Next race, but not final. Two more after.

[MantaRay]

Jairus, If you open the link, I think Bob was referring to the track in Salem Or.

[Jairus]

Ahhhh... they finally posted updated pics! Sorry Bob and thanks Ray.

[Gator Bob]

It's all good !

[Jairus]

The plan is to run the track as soon as possible and take pictures for posting. I called Glenn today and left a message. Hopefully some time soon I can give a full report to you guys. But I agree with Bob, the track looks GREAT!

[Gator Bob]

[Gator Bob]

With having to leave the comforts of my home in Northern Ohio a week leading up to the Next Big Race at Rt93 Raceway, the wife and I took the cars on a local Historical spot along the border of Ohio and West Virgina. This was the best place I could think of showing two states at one time! On the right side of the Ohio river is West Virginia,and on the left side is Ohio. This would be looking North up the Ohio River.

Scrolling about halfway down this page, will show the exact spot we had chosen. Fort Boreman Hill.
