Do you think a 6" letter stencil set would be large enough to write on my roof of the car to see from stands?.I can get a set for like $9 with numbers. The 8" set is twice as much with no numbers.

guess it all depends on how far away the stands are away from the track but i think that would be seen car looks good by the way

town car would be the 80s style and continental would be the big 70s style yet right?

All loaded up ready to go.I decided to check my voltage on my bat witch was a little low.Didn't feel like fiddling with the battery box and floor mats etc so I decided to hook it to my terminal on the 1-wire alternator.Well it turned out that that terminal came loose from all the bouncing around the yard and hoses next to it pushing the wire around or maybe I only had it snug before.Well anyways Glad I checked it out and tightened it up.Derby is Friday But have a very busy week ahead of me and I didn't want to load up in the scheduled rain. Added these floor mats here to protect me from Transmission fluid from my cooler(my excuse)But real reason is to hide my 3 ignition boxes so other drivers don't gripe and complain about it.I also have 3 fuel pumps on this car.... Figured I'd advertise for my Cousin's yard since they help me out when I need something. Under tarp... (Generator,Air compressor,Welder,Plasma cutter,1 stock oem steel vic bumper in-case they complain about the Chevy bumper.Floor jack.)3 spare tires tubed extra chains binders for the load,Tools hammers pry bars etc..Wood to brace the car if I need to do something.Still need to add spare gas but that's all I gotta do yet.

Got 4th in my heat.Engine stalled wouldn't start.Looks like my vacuum for my breather popped off and changed the mixture for my tuning.Car was undamaged as far as frame.1 flat tire dirver side rear from not trimming wheel wells.I used the front end all night long.Only thing that bent was my bumper on one end.Some A$$hole knocked my rear bumper off b4 the heat start.Same guy who didn't like me last year.He did it in the pits swiped my car at a 30° to pull my bumper off.I did the hardest hitting.They also like the sound of the motor when I was reving it in line.When I drove off the track the crowd was cheering me.Looks like I'll be going back Sunday to win the (money pool) money again like last year...I think I'm gonna block that vacuum line up and turn up my ilde and richen it a bit.

Sounds like a good shake down of the new motor. So the guy hit you in the pits? Whats up with that most promotors would of been pissed. How did tech go? I know you went to the fullest with your cage for stoney roberts was there any whining? TOM
