steve,

it was great to see you and your wife, and i'm glad you made the trip.

i was in the groove during elimination on sunday until my battery died and could barely get the car started. that was a brand new optima deep cycle battery too. i initially thought my charging system was not working.

all in all, i'm happy with the performance of the new engine and cal-tracs. my best pass of the weekend was 9.914 @ 136.

can't wait to see the videos.

mike

We had a GREAT weekend. Mopar only drag races, swap, and show 1/4 mile track at Ceder Rapids, Iowa. The weather was just perfect for the entire weekend. In addition to the regular classes, the Nostalgia Super Stockers made their appearance. Also four nostalgia Funny Cars. Our own Mike Creglowe was their with his Gorgeous 65 B body hdtp running the Pro Class. Now sometimes what I hear is not what was actually said so I may need some correction! Friends Rosie and Clay Kossuth were there with their 64 Dodge and 63 Dodge. ( Nostalgia Super Stockers) Clay lunched his tranny on Saturdays qualifications. Rosie lost in the first round which is very unusual. They are consistantly in the upper range of points standings.

Doug Jacobsma and wife and us were in Mikes pit a lot of the time. Mike did major improvements to his car last Winter and this weekend was the first for him to try it out. After trying the new trans-brake, he decided to run without it - more familiar doing it the footbrake style. He made it thru 3 rounds and lost in the 4th round. I think that was the quarter finals.?? TOUGH competition!! I got a kick out of people coming to his pit and being surprised that such a beauty of a car was used as a drag racer. 8-)

Poly news -- in a bench race session with Clay, he told me that Hemi Hotheads was developeing speed parts for Poly engines as they are rapidly gaining in popularity. I think?-- aluminum heads- intakes and cams. And a stroker kit. I mentioned that Gary Pov. was on our 62-65 website and Clay acknowledged that he is well known among the Poly folks.

When we get time, wifey will put together video clips of Mike C. wheelstands and put them on U - tube. URL will be posted here. ........................................MO
