Went out to Martin today. First outing of the year. Previous best was a 10.11 at the Milan UMTR event last fall. First pass was a 9.93 at 133. Pretty cool. Car ran a couple more 10.0's then on the last past I left at 6200, was at 5600 for the first three, and ran a 9.96. Finally had a decent 60 at 1.38 but still should be 1.35/6 area.
Clutch needs a little more base put back into it and my shifting sucks but some more passes and will get the left foot and hand back in time again.

Hopefully some guys at the Nats will let me put the camera in some of their cars, would make a neat video. Sorry for the video quality, first time with the gopro.

NICE!!! I felt like I was driving,thanks for posting. I was holding my breath from staging to finish. LOL

I came back by after I watched one of your passes but you were gone. Your car looks good leaving wish I would have taken a video from outside.

Thanks Frito and Keith, good to catch up again.

My crewchiefs (nieces) were there helping with clutch and shock changes....or maybe just eating popcorn and running around the trailer.lol

Very Very Nice, congrats!
So, 2 tenths from last fall to early spring....
Good vid - made me want to get my rear in gear

Nice pass and great video

Awesome Vid Andre

Rickster

Sweet vid! What shifter are you using? I'm hopefully upgrading to a super shifter 3 here, from the pistol grip lol

Nice job on the new best Andre! Great video.

Jeff

Thanks.

The shifter is a Long Vertical Gate kind of like the Hurst/Mr Gasket Ramrod setups.

I'm sure when the weather starts getting warm it'll fall back in the low 10's, avoid the comp license and all that other stuff.

Looks like fun congrats on the new best

Makes me wanna go 4 Speed

Cool.
I've been wanting to put a camera in mine, but don't know how to attach it. Also, I don't have a camera. (minor detail!)

Nice!! Whats the engine combo?

What trans do you have in it? Just curious as it seems to have a lot of gear noise like straight cut gears would have. What are the trans gear ratios?
thanks for sharing the video, it really motivates me to get mine back to the track.

Ill stick the camera in both of yours at the Nats then!

Combo is a 440, trw 2295 pistons, six pack rods and a steel crank. Heads are Indy EZ-MW port and tti headers.
Clutch is a ram sintered iron and trans is a G Force GF4A. 3.09 first and 1.1 final with 4.88 gear, 5.13 in a couple weeks. Car weighs about 3250. Nothing special and does well for what it is.

Great vid Andre! Keep up the good work.

That's a trans that I'd love to try out and see if it's streetable!

I hope to get mine out and try it with the new 18 spline NP box. Maybe in a few weeks or months!

I know what your talkin about Greg.

The trick for me is camera positioning so you can't see me eat my elbow.
