Scarab runs great !!

at two weeks im only the second fastest in town, thats all !! :-(

a 24" Checkmate (1997) with an HP500EFI (2001) is the fastest now !!!

This year i have drive showers, they works very nice !!

Engines runs perfect ( all standart mags ) !

The weather in germany are very bad, many water overall !! :-)

Thats all for now !!

And of course I am still here. Hey if it doesn't break there isn't much to talk about. I lost a exhaust rocker arm stud a few weeks ago and had to replace all of the rocker arms ( went with the chrome molly ones from CROWER. I also replaced the studs with new ARP ones. And when the exhaust valve didn't open the cylinder pressure caused the intake valve to not open and it bent the push rod. Jim Valakeo gave me a new one that he had laying around.
I plan to pull both motors out this fall and go through them and do a little TINKERING. Thinking about going to 540's or so for about 750 HP each. That should get me to about 85 GPS- I hope.

NO BLOWERS FOR ME
