June 17, 2007 - After working so hard to be ready for this race, Marcus discovered some foreign material in his oil earlier in the week and did not bring the car to the track.  Marcus will remove the engine in the coming weeks to determine the problem. Marcus spent all of his time on Sat. and Sunday selling raffle tickets and T-shirts.

April 15, 2007 - Marcus took a day off to do some testing before heading up to Shreveport.  There were some cob webs to clear and some adjustments to make but the testing session was very informative.  The first run was a 9.14, but the accelerator stop was not in the correct position and limited the opening of the carb all the way.  The next three runs were hampered by the wheelie bars not being set correct.  Marcus will try to get in another test session before hitting the road.  Photos

March 28, 2007 - Skip dropped by to visit with Marcus and Carolyn today.  The family is doing well and the Nova is even better.  Marcus is getting ready to go to Shreveport next month.  He had made some modifications to the engine, heads and he changed the carb setup.  The engine looks and sounds awesome!  He had also made some modifications to the chassis.    Marcus is planning on testing soon at a local track before heading to north Louisiana.
