Wish me luck
Did my physical last Saturday.
Got my Chassis cert on Wed. Everything is done on the truck except Longer wheel studs in front and replacing my belt as it is out of date. Doing both today. If all goes well, I hope to make my license passes this sat.

Re: Wish me luck
Good luck! Mind telling us about the physical?
I've always wondered if I'd be allowed to get my license because of that part.

Re: Wish me luck
The licensing passes are so stupid,, I've never understood the 60',,1/2 track,,then full pass.. annnd good! It SHOULD BE 1/2 track, full pass, then go see how thy handle the shut down!!! Things are more exciting on the top end than in that first 1/2!!! Oh well that's why I'm not running NHRA I guess (common sense!)
BR3, the physical is really just standard stuff (BP, blood sugar, history is seizures, bla bla) but the did throw a couple of things in there because guys are notorious for not taking care of themselves (prostate exam 'if warranted', EKG if over 50, to name a few) The medical form is on-line if your a NHRA member, if not let me know I'll i have it saved somewhere. Shaun, we'll be watching to know how she does on that 3rd hit!

Re: Wish me luck
Marv,
As I was unloading all my gear back in to the garage yesterday I could not help to wonder if some how I am ending up with your luck. Let's hope not. I have a new radiator and fan set up on order.

Re: Wish me luck
Ok.. Quick update:
Ordered new radiator, fan, shroud. Put it all together and dropped it off at my buddies to weld the mounting tabs on. While waiting I decided to figure out a starting issue I was having. Turns out when installing the new throttle position sensor, I forget to set the min voltage on it to >0.2v and it was throwing a code, causing a hard to start issue. Fixed it, fired right up but then there was a noise.... It sounded like a rod knock or collapsed lifter. I cant see how it would suddenly develop a rod knock when it didn't have one leaving the track so I pulled the valve covers, rolled the motor over putting each set of lifters on the base of the cam looking or a loose push rod. Nothing.. Pulled the oil filter and cut it open, nothing to be concerned about in it. As I got under it and started draining the oil, I noticed one of the cut outs was not closed all the way and tapped it. It make a clacking sound. Thinking I found it, I filled it back up with oil, started bolting down the rockers and well... Wouldn't you know the last bolt spun in the head... Grrrrr... Off came the intake, drilled, tapped the hole and put a heli-coil in it. Since the plugs were out, I turned it over with the key and no noise. Put plugs in it and left the coil pack unplugged, turned it over and the noise was back. Pulled the even plugs out trying to narrow down what side it was coming from. Still there. One by one I pulled plugs and the noise lessened. Got to number 7 with the noise still there and moved that plug to number 3, still had the noise. Got back under to inspect the flexplate for a crack and could not see one. I unbolted the converter, slid it back and reached up and the flexplate bolts backed off  Unbolted the trans, pushed it back, pulled all the bolts out cleaning the holes and bolts and put them back in very tight with loctite.Got it buttoned up and the noise was gone. Took it for a test ride when I had a rotational vibration. I must have tossed the weight off the front drivers tire, got that taken care of. Got the tune more or less back in order other than it is under timed by roughly 6*. It feels strong and the tires have zero chance from a 25mph roll even with the front shocks at the 6th loosest setting. It transfers the weight while unloading the tires. Back testing it at the track on Sat/9.. I think I will play with it this weekend and work on my license in June.
