More runs today.
Went to Gateway today. Only changes were to tighten up the int. band from 2 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns. 1st run 1.428 60 ft, 4.179 330 ft, 6.501 1/8 mile at 105.11 mph, 8.527 1000 ft, 10.251 1/4 at 130.04 mph. There was a strong headwind and everyone was saying their mph was down. Still flared against the rev limiter in 2nd gear so I tightened the band to 1 1/8 turns out. 2nd pass-1.443, 4.182, 6.502 @ 105.08, 8.529, 10.253 @ 130.02. Still flared a little but didn't get on the rev limiter. 1st round dialed a 10.24 went 1.443, 4.170, 6.480 @ 105.69, 8.497, 10.212 @ 130.75. I think the wind had let up a little. Shifted really well into 2nd that run also. We both redlit but he went first so I got into the second round. In the second round the motor started popping and sounding horrible so I got out of it. Turned out I had a little nut come loose in the distributor and it broke the reluctor, the rotor and screwed up the cap. On all runs I was holding it at 2500 RPM on the line and letting it flash from there. Carried the wheels nicely on the first 3 runs. I'll have to dig thru my log book to find some times with comparable weather but the air was very good. Barometer 29.2 inches, 81.9F 22% humidity. Shifted at 6600 RPM. Around 6400 in the lights. Its definitely coming around!!
