we went again on the weekend and the air was cold with a strong head wind and made some small changes and was able to squeeze an 8.89 at 146.7 mph and 1.18 60 foot time shifting a little higher,,,,,,,,,,,

Re: 8.95 at the drags
Thanks Steve...
I had a blast with this race car all season pass after pass doing nothing but put gas in it and check the rear tire pressure and go... The car drove so nice I drove it with one hand and the chassis was setup so nice on the jig ( day 1 )we didn't change one thing, we played with the motor a bit but that old Kinsler mechanical set up is tempermental to humidity and the air fuel conditions. Any way we got a best of 8.8 at 146.8 mph and a 1.17 short time.... we pulled the engine and trans out to go through it and put a bigger cam and freshen it and the trans up. mike |
