Careful there, son. There's still a few tricks us old men have up their
sleeves. After all, we haven't been eatin' cats all our lives for nothing!
There isn't much loss by the fan unless it's engaged!

It will be Nov. 26th, 11am @ Richmond Dragway (about 35 Mi. North of VMP) I
keep thinking about that clutch fan, the old man keeps telling me thats why
its a clutch fan, he claims there is'nt much loss by the fan??
You know how old men get, they always know more than the son. Like when he
told me 287 cubes could'nt push 3900 pounds into the low 14's, bawaaa haa,
something about some 70's big block Mopars from the factory had trouble
breaking 13's??? hee hee ;) Come on up Jon if you can!

get me right at a tenth everytime. I'd speculate the mechanical fan is
draggin enough to take a tenth as well... when is that 1 more race for the
season? I gotta get my 14s :-)
