Bryant and I will be racing on saturday 8/21. Starts at 6pm I believe. Bryant will have his motor back together and I should have my timing problem figured out by then. Hopefully I'll have some proper shoes for the car otherwise I'll be slipping all over the place again.
sac is a long drive from san diego. i think there is 4 or 5 tracks between here and there. some day i would like to do a tour of tracks. any mavericks or comets should come out to barona on the 21st. we can make it a meet and race. they are having a nostalgia night. there will be lots of front motor dragsters, a few funny cars, and lots of fun.
today is the day . . . my car is fairly ready, gotta work this morning but gonna drive to bryant's shop and we'll get everything ready. I'm beyond excited and bryant got his car pretty much all back together . . . here are some spy pics of bryant's car
we got to bryant's shop and I tried messing a little with my off idle stumble but wasn't able to make any changes. we ended up just testing a lot of nozzles and nothing worked. somehow the fuel pump died so we changed that. now at the drag strip I missed shifting into 3rd and was only 64mph and 10.4 seconds in the 1/8th mile
ok here are my numbers. we got the nitrous to work great, it was awesome, kicked in so strong with the manual tranny, I love it but I missed the shift and was spinning tires. 60ft 2.288sec 64.2mph ET 10.45sec 60ft 2.288sec 71.89mph ET 9.87sec 60ft 2.38sec 67.59mph ET 10.25sec and finally with nitrous: 60ft 2.48sec 73.17pmh ET 10.22sec
my best run was a 8.1 at 102mph with only a 2.2 60ft. my stall speed on the conveter is just too low. next big plan is to switch to a stick shift. had lots of fun. lots of cars at barona, including a nitro altered that ran a 4.1 i think.
I cant wait to see some number when you get it straightened out this car should run some 9's on the motor very easy.
