Hello, My name is Jake Kill
I have a 1973 Nova with a SB 350, about 430 HP. I race it at Ohio Valley Dragway in Louisville KY. I race in Super Pro Bracket class. I have been using 110 racing fuel for years and always fight the problem of running under the dial in when the weather changes late in the evening.
In the spring of 2008 I heard about E-85 fuel and how some Bracet Racers were using it with good results as for as running consistant dial ins time after time, even when the temperature dropped late in the evening. Also the cost of E-85 attracted me. I have seen it as low as $1.59 per gallon at thortons in the summer of 2009. So I decided to give it a try.
I called Ken Jones at Ken Jones Perfomance in September of 2008 and ask him to build me an E-85 carburetor. He did so and I had it on the Nova for the spring of 2009. Then in March of 2009 I had to have back surgery and that put my racing on hold.
In July 2009 I was able to get the Nova to the track. I had a good friend drive it for me. We ran the car in two classes and went a total of eight rounds. The Nova ran between 7.03 and 7.05. My friend Dempsey called Ken Jones and told him about the results. Ken told Dempsey what jets to change to, and we did.
We took the Nova out again and we had problems with the car not hooking. So, after putting new shocks on the front and putting new slicks on the rear, along with going up 600 RPM at the starting line we took it to the track again. Dempsey made four passes.The Nova ran 7.046, 7.044, 7.050 and 7.047. That is four rounds within .006 of a second. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was all ready to drive in August but then I was involved in an accident. A deck fell on me and broke both of my legs. I am healing well and should be ready to get back in the car in the spring of 2010.
Thanks Ken Jones for building me a good E-85 carburetor.
