Back into High Gear
Notice all the smiles! With the help of our engine builder, Chuck Cornelison, we located source of the problem we had yesterday. For those gearheads among our readers, there was something wrong with our fuel filter, so the boys bypassed it. For any who want the gory details of doing all of this diagnosis while waiting in line and moving every 15 minutes or so, please call Don!
He was able to run 234+ on the 222 record. So tomorrow we will be going out to the impound at 6:00 am to get the car ready to run at 7:00. If we are able to run well enough to surpass the current 222 record, Don will have another Bonneville record.
We were so lucky to have Chuck here this morning before we ran. He and Don were able to make the changes needed about 30 minutes before running. Talk about cutting it close.
We also know how lucky we were to have a skilled crew throughout the week with us. We know this because everyone except Chuck left yesterday! So Dick, Sandy, Jane, Don & Chuck were running around trying to do the work of 10 people! I have to call John Rickey 3 times to know what to do!!!
