PW to rescue again!

[Doc Dave]

I was thinking of you when I was above tree-line late in July. I found myself going to Summit Co. at the last minute, so I wound up going it alone...well, almost alone!

Thanks Dave,
I WILL make it out there sometime in the next 5 years or so with "Kirkwood"!
Will need to be a 3 week vacation, as about a week is consumed just with travel out and back as you know.
Great pics.
BTW, is the only mod I need to do is lean the carb a bit at that altitude?

Doc:

Looks like you had a blast, and I'm not the jealous type, but frankly I wish we could have joined you. I did go to the Car Show at Koons Ford in Annapolis while you were gone, with the promise they would have a Prius for me to pull with the winch.... They didn't, but we still had fun.

Let me know when you want to join us for some bbq and start on the NP200.

Wayne,
Will do, this fall/winter. Really looking forward to seeing your craftsmanship at work.
The next 2 months are hectic for us, including our (younger) son who will be graduating from the Navy OCS program. Also, good news on older son, rehired by defense contractor!

Dave: Congrats on all fronts, the OCS is a great way to go, and good deal on the contractor position too. I tell folks this all the time: Do something you love and have passion in what you do. Enthusiasm is a force multiplier!

More than likely just a slight advance in timing...

[Doc Dave]

Thanks for that, Dave.
BTW, I wonder what the scientific reason for the slight advance is, at that altitude?
Could it be that with the thin air, the explosive process take a little longer making it better that the spark occurs a little sooner in the cycle?

Timing

Doc-

Don't think there is a scientific reason, Dave just wants your timing to be more advanced than five years.

[Doc Dave]

haha,
I also wish that my timing was more "advanced".
As a consolation, I will be attending the WV rally in October, which is in a very beautiful part of that state.
Much closer for me.

[Scottwagon]

Where and when is the rally?

[Doc Dave]

Sent you an email.
I don't know if Dave Horvath has posted it to the website yet.

[mauricedocton]

congrats

Hey Doc Dave - you know I have a Navy background also - what's your son going to do in the Navy?

[Doc Dave]

Maury,
