We spent most of the day just checking and discussing our run set for sometime tomorrow. Ed Starr (Magtech) got out the computer he uses on Sprint cars etc and calculated the altitude density ratio and we all had a discussion in regards to the changes here on the
salt. It appears our Indy set up with a good air fuel ratio (in Indy) is approx 20 per cent too rich here. The
air
altitude numbers changed almost 1500 feet in a couple hours. Ed feels as if we need to jet down three sizes to run the best we can. At this point we have decided to get in a run and see where we are before trying a jet change. ( I am a firm believer in if it
ain't broke don't mess with it.) I put in new plugs and warmed up the engine while Donnie and Ed worked on the extra hood with the scoop. Donnie also got the fuel cooler hooked up to the fuel tanks and we drained all fuel out and headed out to the fuel truck as he opened at 4
o'clock. We tanked up with 8 gallons of EMC 111 octane racin' fuel, they sealed and dated out tank and we towed back to the pits.
We left the track about 5:30 and headed for the Rainbow buffet in Wendover and had some dinner and hit the hotel for some much needed showers and sleep. Tomorrow is the big day and we should get in a early run that will really tell it all!! I live in a
MacGyver world it either will run over 100 or it wont. If it does great if not then we must get to work. More tomorrow evening.
By the way, iATN's own Gary Gom spent the day with us as well doing a article for Parts and
People magazine.
