I'm going to think in that time period...exact...not sure. This was before my digital camera so that
time period for me was film, which is in a massive tub of albums. There I could figure the date as my albums are all lineal through time and events.

A great snapshot( pun intended) of years of amazing friends and racing.

Here is the same car in a different venue, upper pic, at Barnes Lake.

I have spent the last two days testing the car.

fresh fuel in, so I can boost with confidence now. Adjusted valves, they were loose.
Adjusted carb a few times, went to Specialty and had Andy listen to a "noise" and check valve train,
all good.

Took it for a good spin today and some traffic , all good there. Adjusted my idle again, I think I am there, trying to balance RPM with the idle circuit only.

I have turned boost down a bit, sneak up on it, what with the higher compression, still breaking motor in 10 - 12 lbs feels freakin' awesome so if I can get back 14, with out breaking traction, life will be good. Need to get those fresh tires on ASAP.

Motorcycle track day tomorrow, so Specialty getting the bikes ready, I think I will stop by on the way to Byron's, then I can come in the other way and not hit Cloverdale and that Frigg'in bridge in rush hour.

Took my bus out of winter storage the last week, because i was selling it. So i had to unload my 510 in to the garage.
The bus is som something me and my father built 25 year's ago, like a motorhome. Have owned it since 1997.
The 510 is a street car that i built 30 years ago. It is not a BRE replica, clone or whatever, it is just a inspirational build.
