New Best ET

New Best ET - 06/08/20 01:38 AM


Went to Cecil county for the first Ultra race of 2020.
Right off the trailer it went 4.96, and then a 4.94
Spun a couple passes, but see in the video that it went into tire shake and then spun, so hopefully tire pressure etc can get it consistent again

Al, weight is perfect now. Every time I went over the scales it was 3055, im supposed to be 3050.

I have the air too low in the tires, and watching the vids I see now that when it spins it shakes the tire first. Its getting really wrinkled up and when the wrinkles hit the bottom of the tire...there it goes, spins . So my plan is add some air, and maybe tighten the ext on the rear shock.

There some other things in the progressive that really helped the 60' come around

Its nice to be t minimum for sure, ballast at minimum is even better.

You know what they say about shake, just ad more power smile Sounds like you have a handle on that with air and shock settings but don't forget more power can fix that too .

Gezussss, that is flying! I can say, I will probably never go that fast, the learning curve alone to get there is more than enough....Congrats, that is truly flying!

Thanks, its been progressing along, we have made pretty good strides lately. Racepak, I phone Vids, Go pro Vids, and lots of professional help along the way. It is hard to do it without DATA and experience. Some racers are very tight lipped about what works, cant blame them.
AND....we still have more jet we can put in the plate. Its not maxxed out yet.
Thanks again for the props

Looking at the racepak, the converter is not grabbing the motor until 1.08, So after some calls. Its not the converter is too tight....it needs more power in that first 1.0 . That's what I was talking about before, "professional" help looking at your info helps so much and shortens the learning curve tremendously. Well worth spending money with these guys when they help so much after the sales.

ALSO Ultimate....cant say enough. Montgomery got back to me asap on Friday, that's some customer service. No worries about new management/ownership at all
