Had a great time last night at Lakeland. Rick Lucas came out with his cuda and ran a bunch of new bests. He can elaborate on that.

Before I went out I jetted the carb up a couple of numbers. The air was good. At one point I think Rick said it was 434".

Here's what it ran:
rt lane
1.401 60
6.368 et
110.70 (Lakeland's mph is off)


left lane
1.385 60
6.361 et
109.76

rt lane
1.386 60
6.361 et
110.79

left lane first round win***
1.394 60
6.370
109.75

left lane
1.398 60
6.391
109.60

left lane
dialed a 6.39 and had to chase and broke out by a ton
1.39 60
6.344 et
110.11

overall had a fun night. Lots of Mopars that I haven't seen in a while or have never seen at all there. Seems like half the cars were Mopars.

I ended up getting a flat some how on the right rear after the last pass. I noticed while loading it up it was leaning. That sucks, when I unload it today after work I'll pull it and see what happened.

Like Chris said, we had a good time and lots of mopars!

I made a couple changes to my car and was hoping for some better ET's.

I went out two weeks ago and my best 60' is 1.68 and ET was 7.38 @ 96.90. So yesterday I took the sixpack off and put on a street dominator intake and a 4150 1000 holley Race carb fresh out of the box. I also opened up the exhaust. The exhaust is a 2.5" system. First pass right out of the trailer was
1.581 (Spun the tires)
7.180
99.46 mph
DA 1354

Best pass for the night was
1.556
7.130
100.01
DA 786

I lost in the second round, I dialed a 7.13 and ran a 7.15 letting off...a little early, lost by .005 . I wonder what that run would have been because I only ran 97 mph. DA on this run was 344.

Other than the first pass and another pass where I burn a plug wire, all the 60' times were between 1.556 and 1.561. I made 6 passes.

Here is my order of preference.
Bradenton (Good track and good management)
Lakeland (Track has been hooking lately and new good management)
Orlando (Ok track and not racer friendly management, My opinion anyway)
