Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[Rex Schimmer]

Just checked the camera and it looks pretty dry right now, no puddles. We are just like John and Troy, hoping for 3 weeks of dry weather and a 5 mile track.

  Just going to post about the salt cam when I saw this.

 Amazing difference overnight.

 After trailering back and forth thru Bville salt water our trailer brakes stopped working. Magnets no good.
 So we replaced them.

  But we had to see where the juice was First. We did that by using a contact light and power to truck plug was
good
 
  Later that day, looking on Amazon. com I came across a 7 pin plug in device with a display that lights up. 6 dots when power is applied. Lights, Right turn left, brake, back up and charge power.

  Double checked with device  all good. Was able to check every power by myself except brake petal.
 I zip tied the brake controller handles together so I could check if the power came on.

 Neet little tool for future trouble shooting for about #12 bucks

  Loaded up and ready for El Mirage.

  Fired up and sounded great, no leaks and great oil pressure from new System 1 oil pump

 222 Camaro has been losing traction when shifting into high gear at El Mirage so this next run will be in 3rd gear and let it rev.

   Any rpm over 6300 will break the 222mph record but hoping for a lot more.

   Just noticed. The 222 car going after a  222mph record

Best of luck, John.

Think of you often when sharing your table with me at the only 200 dinner I've ever attended.

Your hard work on this is bound to blossom soon -- hopefully this weekend.

Fingers crossed for you and Troy.... 223 is a record 250 is a statement, but anything over the record is the goal.
Good Luck guys

Driver should have figured out that the high gear shift wasn't necessary years ago!  Lol, hopefully we got this figured out this time!  Hope to see many of you soon!  Let's go fast!

[Rex Schimmer]

John, I am driving down tomorrow to Elmo and really looking forward to seeing you and Troy.
See you there!!!

   Well, a record is a record

  the 222 Camaro going after 222,156 record set a new record at 222.950

   Troy was looking at his phone GPS registering 235 about an eighth mile before finish when engine started to cut out and getting a slower time.

  Were wondering WTF, after taking the front body off so as to adjust the coil overs up in order to load into trailer, we found out. The oxygen sensor was blown out of the exhaust pipe barely hanging on, the weld cracked almost clear around. An easy fix at least.

  Were happy to get a record even though not as fast as we wanted but super happy with as well as it hooked up. Maybe Troy could post the video,

Congrats!  That's a LOT of dust kicked up by that car! -Dean

  The dust is because of the low pressure under the spoiler vs the high pressure on top sucking up the dust and
 giving traction.
