Were goin to Napierville saturday for some T&T to get Ron's awesome charger some 10 sec slips, and a couple 9 sec slips for myself, weather looks great, cars loaded and ready. Ron had some issues at Pinks but we'll sort them out and get that 572 haulin for him!

have a great Thanksgiving weekend everyone, lets get Turkey drunk

Have a blast. Try to leave the electrical gremlins at home

The weather looks real good ! Sunny and a high of 50* with 10% chance of rain

Get those pullies swapped and get that 9 second pass dude !

Hopefully those electrical gremlins are behind me.



Ron

Play safe boys
Best of luck on your slips
End the season off on a high note

Kevin and Ron...Best of Luck on your 9 and 10 second time slips! Be safe!...but be fast doing it! Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday as well! Your buddy,Randy.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOO! Good Luck Boys! Go lay down some numbers!

I'll be a Shannonville Sunday ONDR 1/8 mile looks good for air!
Good to meet you guys at pinks Bristol

Track was slick, couldn't hook at all....dang ! The short times were brutal.....in the 1.9 - 2.1 range. The stroker is just blowing the drag radials off despite a massive burnout. The MPH is up in the 123mph range but the ET's suck (mid 11's)

Track prep was minimal but the big tire cars running slicks seemed to be hooking better than me. I guess it's tru that Drag Radials are marginal on poorly prepped tracks. It might be time for a set of stiff sidewall slicks.

The green monster did good....a string of 10.00x passes and 135-136 mph but no 9 second slip.....ohhhhh so close !

Might head back out today and try again



Ron

Ron,
until you get the tire/chassis situation sorted out, you may want to try "walking it out" off the line a bit.
even with less than 100% track conditions you should be able to get the short times into the 1.70's with a little driving finesse.

i'm not saying it will be a "cure", but until you have it sorted out, you could try it a few times and see where it gets you.

glad to hear you got the car up and running with the new mill!!

whats the rpm at the finish line?

I'm not so sure those tires like a massive burnout either. Tire pressure it quite critical as well....regardless, I'm sure your still having fun...we know the motor has tons of potential in it.

I think he got a 1.55 60' in Bristol.. ?

Doug, i looked to see if he had posted anything from Bristol, but couldnt find anything.

1.55 is more like it.

Dwayne,
this is a quote he posted on the Dodge Charger board,,,maybe he can confirm it,,,

Good seeing you post Dwayne... !!

(Run #2) i decided to run it hard and it launched well. The 60ft was in the 1.55 range and the pig was screaming. Unfortunately i had a brain fart and let off the throttle at the 1000 ft mark and ran an 11.01 @ 117 but the 1/8 mile ET was at 7.02 which shows high 10's in the 1/4

Sorry to hear you guys didn't get your slips.

Come to the osca event for a weekend before you buy slicks.

Ron, Sorry I missed you guys at the Ville. I was out of town for the weekend. The crew that I run with normally runs on Sundays. I know that time is running out for this year but, if you run again give me a yell so we can hookup!

Ron..I wish we weren't so darn far apart!!! You could borrow my new Goodyear stiff sidewall slicks for sure! Only 5 runs on them this year! Keep us posted next outing,Buddy!!! Randy

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Spoke with Dwayne and he gave me some ideas and stuff to look at. Thanks Dwayne

The trans was acting funny so i'll have the line pressure tested and make sure the pump is functioning properly. Going to run the valves and do a compression test.

The car was low on fuel & with the stock (sumped) gas tank it's very possible the pickup was becoming uncovered. The guy in charge of refueling needs to be fired !

Everything is new in this build so it's going to take some time to sort through it. Plans are for another track day at the end of the month.

Jim (Montessa) i will send you a message so we can hook up. I'd luv to see your car run


Ron
