The electric solenoid controls the flow of the CO2 to the cylinder that operates the throttle blades on the stop.

This view shows the adjustment side. You control the amount of turns here. The linkage is visible. We had three gaskets between Goza plate and Stop for clearance and also cut out for linkage clearance on the Goza plate.

The Stop is dimensionally like a 2-inch space. The caps are for the shaft bushing and seals Number One uses.

Now that I had the throttle stop on, it was time to get it set for some 8.90 Quick Rod racing. This was going to be a "steep" learning curve. It was Wednesday and the IHRA race was Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Let's see, all I had to do was get the throttle stop set, drive with a .4 pro-tree (never did that before) and figure out the timer settings for the throttle stop. Basically, I felt I didn't have a chance. Gary, at Number One Stops, gave me some great advice and the car did exactly what he said it would. The .4 pro-light was as much fun as my friend, Mark Kluck, said it would be. Gary explained things like throttle stop ratios and using intermediate times in a way I never have for bracket racing.
