Results of Cal Trac adjustments. Pics included - 06/16/09 02:24 AM

Well I got to the track Saturday. It ran a 1.48 60' off the trailer at 10.74. This was .15 slower than the last outing in April. It was 10* warmer and the DA was 1000' higher. I hope that is what slowed it down. The pics from this weekend are here.http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/06-13-MokanAllOut/0008/imagepages/image13.html I believe this was my second run. And That this was just after the 1st pic. http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/06-13-MokanAllOut/0008/imagepages/image14.html And this would have been in April. http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/images/2009/04-11-MoparsInvade/0001/imagepages/image7.html I believe it needed more air preasure this time 12.5 versus 13.5 in April. As always comments are appreciated. Jim

Isn't that a lot more preload than most run?

Would 2 flats be equal to 1/4 turn? Mine works best at 1/4 turn both sides. Shocks on 5, Bottom hole.

I believe it may be. It was a suggested setting made by someone else who runs them. The 1st time out with it I had an 1/8" gap. This time it carried the wheels a little higher and farther. However, the 60's were the same but the ET's were off. I think that was because the weather was different. Jim
