Why is there never enough time/ The Ohio mile

Missed you questions Mike, sorry. Turbine is a 1.32, 106mm compressor, 66mm gate. Pretty sure vibration was the driveshaft nearing critical speed and flexing.

The bucket is back together and starts

Well its been a couple of meets now. The big boat ran a 171mph at the first meet. Blowing through the converter and burnt a few plugs on the way. Didn't know it but it had also ruined the valve seal on a few cylinders at the time. Fixed the valves put a tighter converter for the June meet this weekend. Car ran a best ever of 176mph on the first pass this weekend. Then as usual it broke something. LOL. The tranny broke on the second pass. Plan to be fixed and ready for the July meet. Feel like we are slowly getting a handle on it though.

Glad to meet several of the Bangshifters at the track. Look forward to seeing every one again in July.

Great to meet you ( was with Brian when he was checking out the Caddy as well as being in long shut down with Scott Griswold ) Was great seeing the car make it's best pass. Sorry to hear about the tranny. Heard that you had problems up atop the hill but, didn't know what it was till now.

Sean, glad to hear that it can be fixed for July. That car is beyond cool. I'll buzz you tomorrow to follow up on the feature!
