found the low 1.50's last time out

Two back to back 1.51's. Not great, but much better than before. Now the car starts a little spinning about 10 feet out, and we will be working on that next time.

As always, any and all suggestions are welcome.

Nice! It's not easy getting a land yacht to short time like that

Good deal Greg... If I'm not mistaken, as long as it's not blowing the tires off, you want a little bit of spin so as not to pull the engine down too much... I kept adding pressure to my rears because it wasn't getting any rotation at all... I added 1/4# at a time until my 60's improved... I went from a 1.57 avg. to 1.43 avg. With a low of 1.400... I Went from 6# to as much as 9-1/4# my slicks depending on the track...

Doug...

he'll go make some photos with my pic in it now.

No need for a lighter car, I'll just up the spray!

Thats some good numbers Greg!!

What starting line procedure are you using now, the same as before?

Bill

Nice job. Did you make changes or was the air good that night?

We did make some changes.

I closed up the gap on the cal-trac bars and loosened the shocks up to a 2 on both sides.

Then a buddy suggested trying a lower pressure in the rear tires, so I went down to 11 lbs. The tire sure looks bad at launch, but it seems to work better.

Greg

you didnt get any vid did you?

Was this with your roller spring perches installed?

That was with the roller spring perches.

We found a little more recently, and hit a string of 1.46's.

The front suspension is taking a big beating, and it seems like every time I bring the car home from the track a new bushing is out. This time it's a lower control arm bushing.

Greg

thats pritty good 60' for a stock body.they are real nose heavy and hard to transfer weight but your doing a good job.good looken car too!

rick
