I made a clutch change and Mike shortened up the launch retard ramp, car left and went maybe a car length before it started shaking the tires, I peddled it and went 5.80 @ 124. On the second qualifing round I changed the clutch setting and we lengthed the ramp out .5 the car loved it rewarding us with a 1.29 sixty, 5.45 at 128mph. The best sixty before was 1.35 I believe and 5.56 et. Mike backed the ramp up .2 and the car responded with a 1.27 and 5.44 @ 128. We ran a camero that round, he ran 5.49 @ 130 I believe, very good side by side run with the dart taking the win. In all we had a very good day at the track and didn't hurt anything, and while it doesn't seem like a big gain we were very happy with it.

If I can get my GoPro Camera mounted in there in the next week and can figure out how to post the vid I will, our next race is on the 24th of July. Yes it does get kinda busy in there lol. Jesse we will see you on the 24th!

Mid 5.50 passes with 1.35-1.38 60ft. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcgGCYM3BHE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VowFy4nDdfI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayZ65HoUX6k This past weekend we got the car down to 1.27-1.29 60ft. and it was carrying the hoops 1-2 ft. for about 40ft.

Our home track, Motor Mile Dragway is 2000 ft. above sea level on it's best day, the DA is usually 3500-5000ft. Mike Gray Last edited by OutlawFish; 07/13/10 02:23 PM.
