    Sorry you didn't know sooner. We have been trying to promote the race. You need to follow the Southeast Gassers on facebook or friend me, Quain, or Gene on facebook. You can also go to southeastgassers.com for a schedule.

    [/ATTACH] 0325161357-00.jpg DSC05674 (Medium).JPG DSC05675 (Medium).JPG Well guys the time has finally arrived! The tunnel port engine is going in the Moonlighter! The old engine is already out and Gene is putting the final touches on the tunnel port. There is a little touch-up work to do on the frame, then we will be installing the new engine later this week. I can't wait to hear that beast come to life!

    The tunnel port is in, still a lot to do hooking everything back up. Hopefully, we will get it fired up next week. I told Gene not to fire it up until I'm there to get it on video. DSC05691.JPG DSC05692.JPG DSC05695.JPG

    Running on gas would it be better to have the injectors above the throttle plates?

    I don't think anyone can imagine how good it makes me feel to see Gene enjoying the Moonlighter. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"

    I'm sure it does make you feel good. I wish you could have seen his face at the end of the track in Darlington.

    You might want to ask the engineers at Hilborn, that's the way they designed them.

    I seen his face the first time I ran him at Greer when the car was first finished. He's my hero for life.
    I hope he's number 1 qualifier with his new engine and wins the race at Myrtle Beach.

    I think David tried to post it. I can't get my video to work. You can see David's video on my facebook page or Gene's. It sounds good, it really screams with Gene just blipping the throttle.
