Time to hit the Track.

[HEMI-ITIS]

Do you both have transbrakes? I'm a tuna fish with my foot on the brake pedal

 

[Wookie316]

Yeah we both use a T brake.

Practice, practice, practice, repeat. When you get bored practice again.

Thanks Bob. Yes it's working pretty good. Rear shock rebound on full tight, front shock rebound on 7R and 3000 RPM launch. I tried moving the launch rpm up to 3400 and the spin and bounce came back. I car is consistent now so I'll run it this way and start working on me. I went out in the second round today, barely got into the second stage and the lights were coming down right away. I had a terrible light. I took lots of time turning on the second light, I don't know if that is why they came down right away or not.

The starter might have been holding the button down when you lit the staged light. I have had them do that if they feel you are slow lighting the second bulb. My thoughts..

Thanks for mentioning Bob! I have a good understanding now on autostart. I researched information on it and a fellow racer explained in detail.

Loading up and gonna get back at it. Car was working pretty good last time out posting a 10.12, 131.57 and a 1.38 60’. Hoping to better that this time out although weather looks to not want to contribute anything as usual.
A couple changes, up one size in jets all the way around, installed a billet meziere water pump and gonna give the stiff sidewall 10.5’s a try.

Fattened up the 1050’with 92’s. Ended up increasing the intermediate air bleeds a tad to clean up the blubbering at mid range. Had to offset the fan to get the meziere pump in.

Trying the 29X10.5’s tomorrow. Exact tires that Mike Gaines runs. Will see if there are any “Gaines”. Haha.

Sliders lowered the rear some. I suspect they have helped in breaking into the 130 60’s.

Best of luck Malex, be safe.

I could be wrong, but I believe if the starter activates the tree before you are in, you are timed out, the red bulb lights and you lose via foul.

My slicks are MT 10.5w/s.they work well!

I'm sure that in my case it was just me taking too long after pre stage. I didn't know that once the 3rd bulb comes on the clock starts. A rookie mistake, won't happen again..

These are also the 10.5 W's. My other Hoosiers are the 29 X 12 soft sidewall. I already went 132.2 on these 10.5's when I was bouncing and spinning with 150's 60'. Before I found my flattened out spring perches. That's why I bought the 29 X 12's, hoping it would hook, it didn't. Will find out in the morning.

Thanks Bob!

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

I forgot if you DA shocks on the rear?That hook/spin/hook is shock control.

In my case it was some very positive pinion angle. Replaced the curled perches and it was a different car. Same shocks.

 

[dvw]

I waiting to hear about your newest best run.

[69 GTX]

Good luck Malex, I know it'll be fun.

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

Sliders will change the pinon angle a tad..........

 

[Mike Gaines]

I want to see the 9.999 time slip.....lol.

 

[bearman]
