I took my Volare out to the Canadian street car nationals on the weekend. I ran Open comp which is bracket racing off the .500 pro tree. My car has a stock 98 318 magnum with carb and headers. It has a 727 and 4.10 gear. I set it up as I ran 11.90 index with 29" front runners and 28" rear. I shallow staged and ran 3 00 lights in the 7 passes I made -.003 -.001 and a 000. I almost put my 24" fronts on as I figured there was no way I would cut a light. My launch rpm was a little under 2000. I ran a 600 vac carb and a 750 vac carb.

I redlighted 2nd round with the -.003 and the car I was against cut a .012 with a 14.60 dial. I ran a 14.45@95mph on a 14.44 dial. 2.02- 2.05 60' most of the time.

Slow cars can run the pro tree. I always get people saying its not possible how quick my car is on the pro tree. Foot braking from real shallow with a big rollout.

This was my first time racing this year and 2nd time in the last 2 years.

Thats very good. Ron

That is amazing! I run NSS and we have to footbrake on a .500 pro tree, and there are a few guys that can cut that kind of light, but only with 10sec or quicker cars, and I don't think anyone stages shallow (although deep is not allowed). Congratulations!

Betcha it felt good getting back in the car!

Perfect example of driver tree perception, cam selection, converter flash, carb tip in, gear ratio, front tire diameter, rear tire diameter and staging awareness/ consistancy combination. Change just one, and you will chase your tail. Congrats on hitting it without changing each catagory 5 times. It can get a bit expensive.
