    I'm guessing it was like when I told my wife I was going to learn to fly in a 1946 Aeronca Chief. That was bad but when she went to the airport and saw me hand prop start it and then get in and fly off I thought it was over. Then she saw the bare frames of a Cub and a Champ sitting in a hanger and told me she did not want me flying anymore. It did take a while to get over that one.

    Looks like I should be all set to have a running car again over the weekend. Gonna dyno next week then register if everything runs right.

    Thanks Sean!

    10 days later, all good to go!

    Thanks to Sean's LT1 depot and Records' Camaro lifting help, I'm all good now. Car dynoed well today and not seeing anything bad from the usual oil filter checks.

    Really hoping I can start and end 2017 without an engine pull!

    2016 is shot, missed 2 full events due to conflicts, may miss a 3rd due to another wedding; missed 2 races last weekend thanks to motor.

    You had a solid drive at Nola and made it to the podium. Now you have a Storm Trooper motor and you are up against the entire CMC field at Hallett. 2016 is far from over buddy, you are going to be in a national caliber CMC race at Hallett!

    Scott: "Dave, is the oil filter on the car?"
    Dave: (looks under car) "Yup."
    Scott: "Filter. Check."

    Forgot how much of a b$&@h setting up gears is... Ugh.

    Ended up with a good pattern, 0.0075 backlash, and 24 in-lb pinion drag.

    Just need to stab axles once I'm back at the shop.
