 Got the car done the weekend before the season opener of the ANRA (Antique National Racers Ass.) at Famoso just outside of Bakersfield,CA. My favorite track in Cali, and the series I have been racing for a few years.

The announcers comment as I pulled up to the line "You never know what is gonna show up at ANRA, Does anyone know what that thing is?"

The best pass was 94mph @14.78 seconds.

The transmission was slipping badly, and I lost reverse by the time we got to eliminations. As I pulled up to the lights for the first round of eliminations I went to bring the engine RPM's up for the launch off the line and the brakes let go and I sailed through the lights eliminating myself right off the bat. Turns out one of the lines I made was leaking. So back on the trailer and time for more work.

The brake issue was actually resolved by tightening the brake lines and bleeding the system.
