June 3rd. Test and tune Milan dragway.

Removed trans on Tuesday morning to determine issue with clutch fork. It turned out the the shims used to get the correct ring height on the pressure plate had changed all the geometry on the fork from the year before. I changed the pivot height, modified the fork a little and everything worked great. Off to the track Wednesday evening. First pass off the trailer was great, carried the wheels to the 60ft mark, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, this thing is truck'en!! One of my best passes to date with the car! Make a couple other passes, car is running well but need a small clutch adjustment. Last pass, make clutch adjustment and carb jet change. I let the clutch out at 6500 and it hikes the front end very high and carries the wheels out, pull 2nd in the air, settles down nice and smooth, and starts marching hard. Car is running very well, best 60 ft ever on last past. Time to go racing!
