David McKenna (OUTLAWD, Moparts) was making his first Drag Week, and was busy melting the tires on his 66 Plymouth on Sunday as well. With it's blacked out trim, this is a car that sneaks up on you, but the longer you take to check it out, the more you appreciate what a really clean, well assembled machine it certainly is. We were way too over our skis to do that on Sunday, but we got the opportunity to pit near Dave and his Dad Monday, and enjoy some time to look his car over and bench race.
Great Pics! Thanks! I had to break in the new drag radials...
Luckily I did line up for a couple passes on Sunday...on the drive down Saturday I was tweaking some of the WOT values in my VE table, but it was pouring rain during the drive so I never got a chance to lay into it. I forgot that I was fudging the transient fueling to try to get rid of the rich spike on the launch, so when I launched on the first pass, the thing nearly stalled twice because it had no "pump shot" at the hit...A couple clicks on the return road and the second pass was clean.
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...
