Subject: FM Radio Frequency for The Hill Announcer

The track now has an FM transmitter broadcasting what is on the PA system. Some spectators and racers have had trouble hearing what is announced over the PA system but they can now listen to it in their car, truck, trailer, or any fm radio. It is expected to be broadcasting on frequency 87.7 FM. Bring your portable radio or tune your car radio to 87.7 FM at the track. It will only work around the Prairie Hill Dragway. Thanks Ken for adding this feature.

Thanks for the heads up Barry. How much longer until we see you lay down that magic number you've been looking for?

I don't know about the magic number. I do know that the new motor should produce more than the horsepower I thought I had with the old motor. If you are talking about the 200 MPH number, this motor should go 220+ but I have not run it yet it to see. It gets a little touchy at the Hill over 190 so I may decide to let up on the throttle at any time in a high mph pass. I rolled and destroyed one of these a couple of years ago already, I do not want to see it happen again. I AM expecting some better 1/8 mile times. I DO know I have a bad habit of staying in the throttle when I should be letting up so we will see what happens this weekend.

Welllll, our short night at the race track did not go well. First pass we had SEVERE tire shake, peddeled it and severe shake again and then aborted the pass. Made some clutch adjustments and went back for a second pass.
Second pass started out better with a 1.04 60' and a 4.52 ET but pushed out a head gasket and melted off metal from the block AND the head along the way. So much for the all new motor. Probably pull it apart in a few days and piece it back together.
Other than that, I thought the new FM radio set-up worked well. We could hear the announcer clearly in our pit area.
Anybody else have any feedback on the radio hook-up?
