Motorized Mayhem Ensues...

I think I'll take the altered out Saturday afternoon. We have the bugs worked out of it. I'm going to try to make it faster. Put some timing in it, take some fuel out, change the shit point. Looking to hit 5.30s or better. Shouldn't be a problem. It went 5.41 last time out. May try to slip a quarter mile run in and try my chute out.

Anybody else going out? Probably very few chances to get down the track till next year. James is MIA in Texas, and I told him I'd take his car and drive it for him. Somehow he forgot to leave me the keys.

That's a good idea, because you want the shit point to be either way before you get on the track, or sometime after the run. Generally if you hit your shit point while you are still in the quarter, something has gone really wrong.

shift point, shift point. I just had my gall bladder removed. Trust me, the shit point is already messed up.

I'm reading this while sitting at the reference desk laughing out loud and everybody is looking at me all weird!!!
This cracks me up so bad


Anyways....I missed Saturday. How'd ya do?
Looks like I will probably miss this next Saturday and possibly the 15th if I have to work
This racing year went way too fast

We did ok. I was expecting better numbers. We started with a 5.44 and ended up with 5.39. The changes I made had a much bigger difference in the 1000ft. I started with 7.14 and ended with 7.07@143mph. I ran it out the big end hoping maybe the quarter clocks were on, but no such luck. I was probably mid to high 8's at around 155 to 160. You have to use the brakes all the way to end of the track on that, no coasting along. I'm thinking more fuel would be better. Possibly a Dominator carb, but if the car runs fairly consistantly with us screwing with timing and SHIFT points. may be we are closer to being maxed out for this combination. The tourque curve on the motor is probably really flat for us to make those kinds of changes and have little effect.

Hell Paul, just had to run up and asks Susan for the keys. She would have handed them over to you
