As most of you may know, I've had several different problems with the Willy's, and have been fixing things and modifying things since day one. The "last Straw", was when I towed all the way to, Island, and the car fell on its face. A shorted battery that wouldn't hold a charge, some bad fuel, my fault, and some seriously nasty wiring problems. I think that I've got all of these problems corrected now, and hopefully the next time I go to the track I will be able to go fast, finally. The car has so much potential, it really bothers me that I've had the car this long and still have not made a decent pass. I'm going to put some pics on this post of the wiring job finally finished. I think the pics are OK, but I'm sure you guys will let me know.

mikey....Looking better, when you going testing?
Made some changes to the Mustang and was going to test tomorrow but found out the Snowbird Nationals start Thursday and run through the weekend. So Bradenton next Thursday if the weather is good.
Good luck with your car.
I was talking to a racer I haven't seen in many years last week. He has been to a lot of tracks in Florida. He runs a high 8 second Nova and he has run both tracks, Lakeland and the one close to you.
We got to talking about the Lakeland track vs. the track close to you. I told him I didn't like Lakeland because of it being short. He told me the track near you is 200' shorter than Lakeland. So if your not having trouble stopping at your track the Lakeland track would be good for your car also. Both tracks are 1/8 mile tracks.

I will test the car out at CFRC, and if it does Ok, I'll get a hold of you and maybe we could go to Lakeland. Bradenton is just too far to drive for me all in one day. For me to go to Bradenton, and meet you there will take me about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. I can take the car down to M&M, run County Line Dragway, and stay over a M&M, and run the following night too. Lots of options. I'll see how it goes up here first. May be next week, if I have the money. .....Mikey :lol:
