Friday 26:15
This day kept going on when u are traveling form Amsterdam,chigago to Los Angeles. Every time u are crossing more time zones and your day will be longer and longer. The flight was oke and I could just get the second flight in time due to all the American immigrations. One thing is for sure they want to know why u are here. Arjan one off my team mates picked me up at the airport together with Kevin Pointer. He is our tuner and crew chief here in the states and brought me and Patrick which also arrived today to our lovely hotel.
Saturday 22:30
Seeing the car in good order in the shop was a nice point to start from. Kevin and Arjan made a good start and did a lot with just a two of them. Cleaning was the main job this day. Kevin wanted to clean all the tools before we start on the rest of the dragster. I think that is a good way to start because now everybody can find all his tools in a second. Kevin is a pro here in drag racing and with everything he explains u will get more educated about it.
After a fast food lunch at McDonalds the cleaning part was over and we could start on some serious mechanics. Arjan and Patrick start working on the spare engines and Kevin and me started on the cylinder heads. George our clutch guy already arrived in the morning and had a full-time job preparing the clutch for the first race in Vegas. Kevin plans on winning so we have to make sure all the parts can handle this kind of power. This means that I’m rebuilding almost every single cylinder head. If this is what it takes to win I’m doing what ever he asks to prove him right. At 21:00 o’clock we stopped after we started from 7:00 our brains and body’s could use some rest.
I will try to upload some pictures soon.
