[BaadAssGremlins] Chremlin's first run of the season!

["phl_campbell" <misteramx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, the mightly Chremlin managed to actually go 4 rounds yesterday 
before falling asleep at the tree.  Actually, I'm fighting a engine 
cooling problem that didn't help either.  Best time so far in the 
1/8th is 8.382 @ 84.11 mph.  Best reaction time was a .038, best 60' 
was 1.92.  I think that equates to 13.08 in the 1/4.  This with a 
mild 401/727 and 3.54 gears on Hoosier DOT drag tires.  Here's a tip 
with those, never do a wet burn out with them, they really like a 
short, dry burnout.  Do it wet, I just spun off the line, only time 
it did.  Excessive, John Force stye burnouts slowed me down.  Despite 
not having any traction bars, the car doesn't seem to spin coming off 
the line (unless I do a wet burn out), just sorta moves forward and 
goes.  I launch around 1500 rpm foot braking, then hammer it as I go, 
shifting at 6000 rpm.  In the 1/8th, I cross the traps in 2nd at 6000 
rpm.  Maybe time to put my 4.10's in.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased.  Address my cooling system issue, get 
some cold air into the carb and hot air out of the engine bay, maybe 
play with the carb as I have a flat spot around 4000 rpm, and maybe, 
just maybe I'll be into the 12s.  Oh, was told that if I go 1/10th of 
a second faster, I'll need to move up from Sportsman to Pro.  If I go 
Pro, I'm definitely going to slicks and my 4.10's.

Sorry, just had to share, had a blast yesterday, sent a couple chevys 
and a Toyota truck away broken hearted!
