Race is in slow motion. Skip to the end to see how tight it was. Not much more than a bumper.



Our tracks biggest event of the year. 7 rounds to get there. My boys did well in their respective classes too. Both made the semis.
Was a great weekend.

Congratulations Wookie!!!


Just for giggles, have you ever considered putting that bad-boy engine in a lighter car? I calculated once what yours would run in my car. You dont want to know.

Oh I know what it would run in an A body.
Maybe I need to get fitted for a fire suit. :D
 
congrats :thumbsup: on the win Wookie
 
Congrats 7 rds is always good. Without looking at the slip I'm calling .015 mov. Lets see.

Here you go. My wife told me after the race that she was going to tell me to leave 10.42 on the window. I switched to 10.40 right before the race.

Got that race normal speed? I'd love to see it !
That's a sweet round !
 
No I don’t have a normal speed one. Wish I did. Since it was the feature though, it was recorded in high def from all angles so I will buy the DVD when it is available.
 
Nothing from Malex yet, did you spank him first round or something? Lol.


Better question, since im surprised by his silence. Is he ok?
 
Yeah he is good. I’ll let him chime in on his weekend.
 
Great job on the weekend Wooks! You went all the way for the win!

Hi gang. Yes I’m fine. My weekend was the opposite of Wooks though Lol.
I was all done in the first round on both days.
On day 1 I had a fan relay quit on me in the staging lane in the first round. I wasn’t too excited about pulling relays and shaking wires under the dash while in the staging lanes.
Day 2. Car was going flat in test passes by 6K in 2nd. This problem has been showing up more and more. I couldn’t hit the rev limiter if I tried in 2nd gear. Air was good and my best pass was 10.24. So I dialled back for that in first round. Didn’t matter I went red. Lol. So that wasn’t the best showing for me. Wooks took over completely! Lol.

On the good side though, I made some ladder and shock adjustments and the suspension is working better than ever. 1.340 60’s and all I’m seeing is hood until 2nd gear. As I get the car launching better and faster the flat spot is showing up more and more. So.

Yesterday was a day full of troubleshooting and tests and I’ve found that my fuel volume is way low, which explains the layover. Needless to say, Jegs got rattled good and I’ve got some upgrades to do.

When I originally built the Plymouth the goal was to crack a high 10 with a fuel system to accommodate. It’s sure not accommodating 10.0’s.

Rule of thumb for a 10.0 car is one gallon in 20 seconds or less for a one carburetor set up.
A half dozen tests made at 20 seconds. Not quite 3 quarts. Ahh-hah. Check it out.

Pic from day 2. 1.340 60’. (Same run that my car went away by 6K in second). Finished with a 10.13 to my 10.24. Sucked to have the tach stop climbing and the FFFord go by! No choice but to grab 3rd and run it out.
The Mustang is another local racer to me. I read a post that yesterday that called us the Regina Air Force. Lol.

Upgrades coming are -10AN line, filters etc from cell to regulator and A2000 Aeromotive pump. Replacing the -8 system and 150GPH pump. Hopefully next outing will be better for Malex! 3F11E87F-4624-4528-AC69-24601C066640.jpeg
 
Wookie: when I saw the dial ins my thought was that he had have mph on you, apparently not. .025 is just over 4 feet. Malex: looks like it may be time for wheelie bars. Trust me I've seen many that launch nice like yours. Then out of the blue they're scraping pavement with the bumper. Ouch.
