Do both Daniels and Pancake have a Barton Engines?

All Barton final this time.

So while that 8.38 was STOUT, I'm curious to hear CW tell us why he fell off to "only" a .65 in the 3rd round...

actually both cars can red light but only the first one gets the red bulb.

pancake always seems to be able to take a 4 or 5 th car and drive his way to the finals.

Live timing showed -.012 to a -.005 in the final...double bulb.

Here is a sampling of Hemi stuff from the Dutch Classic. More later....

What's the deal with the camber settings on these cars?




Chris..

thanks - I stand corrected and learned something new!

we just pulled in,,, id liked to thank bucky hess for all his work to get extra gifts and prizes for this dutch classic race.

i ran an 8.62 against charlies 8.40,, i think i slowed the car down maybe .02 by trying something who knows,, the run in the morning was my quickest but everyone else i think slowed up, i ran 8.592 with a 1.157 60ft,, i made progress...

that track was absolutley awesome,, my car went 1.15 and the 1.16 against charlie with the front tight and about 1 foot under the front tires and never hit the wheelie bars. im glad i went and will go next year as well, hopefully with more power..

Very impressive CW, is the 38 a record?

How come these cars do not have chutes on them?

Just want to say thanks for the heads up yesterday about Hemi shoot out. left here at 8:30 and I got to the stands just as the first pair were going down for last round qualf. Thay put on a good show just wish more could have made it. Boy Pancake must have a big following as there was a lot of cheering when he got the win over Westcott

a few cars have chutes on them,, a guy at the staging lanes told me to go look at the shut down before i ran implying it was short. i only ran 151, but i ran with charlie jr running 156,, didnt look like he had a problem stopping to make the turn,, i didnt either,, but again, i only ran 151.

i dont think nhra cares,, if you start running 160+ they might enforce that.

at the tech in,, they were checking for buldges in the inner fender for tire clearance that guys started doing a few years back,, but then they came out over last winter and said absolutely you could not do it, well there you were allowed to have a 1" hump,, they checked the shelf where the fender bolts on to the inner fender shelf and that had to be 3",, mine is stock and its 4",, just so anyone out there building a car knows what they were looking for..

I was just curious thats all. Maple grove is short but i can stop there at 160+ without using the chute on my car.(but tech busts our [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] if we don't have one)
