Mr. Drake hired the Mooresville Dragway today for a little special Test and Tune… I went and took some pictures.
He brought some of his friends…
and… Jennifer’s first pass ever in a Rear Engin Dragster, but I didn’t get a good picture.

Well we are back home as of last week. We really enjoyed the Dover weekend. Back with lots of friends and family we only get to see usually once a year. We put more than 4000 miles of driving and riding in this year and had a ball doing it. We hope to be able to do the same next year.
We liked the new event of the fastest street car. Got to make a Dover time trial, drive out of the track and onto the street, do the twenty some mile trip, come back and made the time trial in the fastest street class and than race it with a flag start. That was like the early old days that brought back memories of Al getting us started at Dover in the 60’s.
Sunday’s race was very well organized and we really liked racing with some of the people from 40 some years ago. All n all we couldn’t have had a better weekend thanks to all that made it possible.

Car looks real good, Tom. Wish I could have been there to see it go. Next year, come hell or high water, I’ll be there!! Guess what? I just got home from the hospital about 30 minutes ago, been in since Friday morning. Thought I might have some heart trouble, tough breathing, chest pains, etc. Turns out I’ve had pneumonia for about a week and never realized it, just kept pushing myself and waiting for more tests to be done in mid September. I guess you just never know. Anyway, I’ll rest up for a couple of days, then work to get the car ready to go to Orlando Speedworld either this coming weekend, or next Wed. I can make a couple of 1/8th mile passes and if it feels good, I’ll go the full 1/4 mile. I’ll keep you informed. …………Mikey

Here is another shot from the 5th Dover race. Can’t say enough about what a good time we had.

Sounds like you’re on the right track, Tom. Good luck on the testing. I’ll be testing pretty soon too. …………Mikey

Made up and installed a cold air package for the 55. This may be the last project I can think of before starting the dreaded bodywork.

Tom, did you ever belong to the Plumbers Union?? With all the different piping you’ve done on “Odd Job”, you should be a “Master”!!
