We will be having a 27 light race in spray glue followed by a Gp27 race. Jim Patterson and Chris Conklin will be making their return. The boys from NJ are coming as well. Should be a fun night.

I would have raced myself, but I was much to fast for these boys. I decided to wait for the Barn Burner and race with men!!

3. Jim Patterson 870 ft 2.033

Anyone besides me starting to see a pattern with the Finger??

Doug, after I got home I figured out what happened to my car in the second half of the race, a 10 tooth 72 pitch pinion almost but doesn't quite mesh with a 39 tooth 64 pitch spur.

I haven't tried that one yet, but I will take your word for it. I did try it with 68 pitch gears some years ago and they do not mesh with 72 or 64 pitch.
