Sunday June 2, 2013 Race #1
nothing but traction problems, first pass spun to a 1.90 60', second and third passes were 2.04 and 2.03 60's, best pass ended up 11.83 at 121.97 in Q1, only 3 cars showed for the class so i technically made it to the semi's lol. it was hot & humid as heck there, the track temp on saturday was reported to be 140* at the line and close to that on sunday, at 5:30PM on our way threw Boston i took a pic of the truck temp above the mirror and it was 101* i think the bolts that hold the 4 link to the brackets are too tight after i put it back in not letting the suspension work like it should and i need to check the pinion angle, this car has never had traction problems like this at the track with drag radials.....IT DON'T MAKE ENOUGH POWER TO HAVE TRACTION PROBLEMS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wednesday 6-5-13 loosened all the 4 link mounting and shock bolts while the weight was on the car and retightened them till they just touch the mounting brackets, went for a ride and can tell right away that its much smoother than it was, it felt kind of pogo sticky in the rear, now its nice and smooth. gonna try and get up to the track before the next race on the 15th, not sure its gonna happen though, rain forcasted for friday night street night, don't think i can do it sat or sun either ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saturday 6-15-13 well this weekend we went back to run the outlaw 10.5, 11.50 class Q1 r/t .080 1.87 60' 7.52 @95.48 11.62@120.02 Q2 r/t .088 1.88 60' 7.48@96.20 11.556@120.82 qualified #3 #1 qualifer ran a 11.505 #2 ran 11.52 Me..................opponant round 1............ r/t .124.............248 1.82 60'............ 1.93 7.42@93.99....... 8.68@79.71 12.08@94.33...... 13.62@99.87 i bailed early as i was way ahead. semi's r/t .109.......... .041 1.87 60' ........ 1.83 7.45@96.31.... 7.42@95.47 11.513@121.19 winner>>>>>>11.578@117.21 all in all it was a good day, the car is working and we made it to the semi's 2 races in a row! we are going to try a 9" 4500 stall converter and see if that wakes up the 60' a little i will update after the next race which is a double header on july 6&7.

That's awesome Norm! The car is working really well! Did you ever Dyno your engine? I guess with your timeslips it can be calculated quite accurately. What does it work out to?

this weekends results 7-6-13, 7-7-13 double header.
Q1 .058 R/T 7.49@96.06 11.570@120.60 Q2 .004 R/T 7.50@95.31 11.603@120.14 semi's .065....... .062 7.52@95.99..... 7.28@95.71 11.59@120.88<<<<<WINNER..... 11.38@116 Finals .043----- .045 7.44@96.29-----7.34@96.71 11.498@121.52<<<<<WINNER-----11.482@116.78 Sunday 7-7-13 Q1 .002 red 7.50@96.13 11.570@120.85, that's the exact same time as Saturdays first run only .25 slower speed wise....can you say consistent in Q2 I tried my hand at shallow staging to see if I could get a little closer to the 11.50 mark. Q2 .228 R/T 7.37@96.09 11.44@120.90 right to the semi's, only 3 of us showed up R/T .058------ .053 7.41@96.56--- 7.47@94.72 11.480@118.48 to a winning 11.582@117.80 I broke out I had it won and even let out of the throttle holding it steady, just not enough Sad I'm getting better on the tree now I just need to get ahold of the stripe! I won the event on Saturday and made the semi's on Sunday that's 1 win and 3 semi's in 4 races. |
