Wrapped up removing stuff from the 77 Saturday morning, but didn't get a break in the rain until afternoon, then towed it back out behind the shop. Did some maintenance and repairs on the lift, then got the 72 back on it.

Today I shot a bunch of pictures of the bottom for Captain Obvious. Now for some time to process the images and upload them..

Where is that at? Thunder Hill?

Yeah! The West track 2 mile CCW. It’s a pretty good track, I need to sort out a fueling/misfire issue when I run the card really hard, I can’t push the car harder than 1:48 without running into these problems, my buddy in his Honda crx is getting 1:36! Unacceptable!

Cool!

I haven't been down there since the additional track was added. These are from the last time I was there.

Loving that Z of yours Racer! The side exhaust looks totally mean!! Do you have any skin left on your calves though!? emoji1787.png 😛

I ran the car in a production class. Any exhaust system so long as the stock exhaust manifold is used. When I had the exhaust pipe in the stock location it burned my right foot. I tried header wrap, heat shields, you name it. 
 

So I built a side pipe, with a Supertrap baffle on the end. That evolved into the shorter pipe in these pictures. The “muffler” isn’t really a muffler. Inside is a spiral of flat stock, wound around a 1” tube. The spiral fits snug inside the tube, is tack welded in place, then the end swaged down on the ends and 3” inlet and outlet welded on. It was sold under the name Loback, and common in stock car exhaust systems. They were available in various lengths and diameters. I had mine aluminum coated (flame sprayed). This was just before Jet Hot coatings became the thing. It has held up very well, but the business that coated it went legs up.
