Da Beast ran new best tonight, 6.544 @ 103.40, 60 ft 1.404. English Mountain isn’t running this week end so I went to another out law track in the neighborhood, HWY 411 drag way. This track doesn’t mph as well as English Mountain dose. First pass was 6.690 each pass got better. I started out by lowering the tire pressure. Starting at 10.5 psi and ending up at 9.5 psi. On run 4 the car went hard right on launch so I aborted the run. That was the first pass at 9.5 psi. I checked the pressure and both tires were right at 9.5, so I figured I was lined up to far to the right. I went back out a d mad anther pass at 9.5 to see if would go right again. This time I was careful to line up in the groove. The car pulled to the right again, but this time I stayed in it for a 6.590 ET and a 1.436 60 ft. I checked my Cal-Track adjustment and found that the right bar had backed off. I reset the bar to 4 flats of pre load and made another pass and netted a 6.573 ET and a 1.430 60 ft. I added another 1.5 flats of pre load on the right side and 1.5 flats on the left and went back for another pass. This one was the new best of 6.544 with a 1.404 60ft. A very good night of T&T for Da Beast.

Air wasn't all that good. First pass was 86 degrees, 49 % hum, 28.82 Bar, 3155 DA. The last pass was perty good air at 68 degrees, 85% hum, 28.77 bar and 2139 DA. We are going back out today. Predicted temp 85 degrees.

Doc, English mountian runs slightly up hill. The shut down goes up at what I would estimate to be around a 2 degree incline.

I raced both 411 and english/ mountain when they were 1/4, at the end of english mountain when it was a 1/4 the track went up a sudden steep incline just past the finish line. very hard to stop then and I actually ran of the end of the track causing major damage to a ss hemi challenger. Ihra dragreview magazine did an article about 411 dragway, titled the night after bristol in 1971. several pro stock cars ran that night Roy Hill and Bobby Yowell just to name a couple. 411 was in the day a great local track. That same night Herb McCandless brought their new P/S duster but would not run it because he was not use to the new car or shoure about the stopping at the track. Just wanted to add that
