Cracked my new plastic hood and bent the hood hinges. I am in Michigan, and drag racing season is about over for us

That's a total bummer.

Made it to the track yesterday. I'm not sure if it was just the weather, but the traction was not there. After pulling some pressure out of the tires, and some timing out of the motor, I was able to leave softly and run an 11.63 at 117. The online schedule shows that was the last Wendesday test and tune of the year, and the guy at tech was unsure if it is or not.
I am thinking a good upgrade for next year is some Caltracs. I am just not sure if they will help enough or if I should ladder bar it or 4 link it? Here is the best time slip from last week and this week. I know the reaction times are embarrassing. I waste the good reactions on crappy passes |
Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Cal tracks would be a good upgrade. Ladder bars would not be hard at all to build your own set if you have the ability. Helped a buddy put a set on his truck, pretty simple design and they worked wonders on axle wrap and wheel hop. If you can tame your rear end and get your 60ft time down you'll have something.

My best 60ft was 1.62, which I feel is good. I just want to get to were it can do that more consistently.
I have some work to do before the season opens up next year( and about 6 months to do it). Still looking for a 2wd short bed standard cab of this generation to build a real drag truck out of. |
Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Well that's some bad luck. I forget that there is a racing section here. I like drag race threads. I don't understand your numbers though. I have never seen a time slip/drag strip set up like that. I'm sure it's still fun just the same. I love the Chevy orange engine. I'll bet it will keep getting faster as you get it dialed in.

Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Yep, next year.
Got the all terrains put back on it for now. |

Well, new PB, but still cannot get it to 60ft. Need to work on f/r weight bias.

Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Man! The MPH is there but that dang 60ft is killing you.

Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
It looks like a 10 second time slip isn't far away. That thing is moovin out for a big ol truck.

Got a couple 10 second time slips today.
This is the new personal best. Switched from a 17x9 rear rim to a 15x10. Tires where of similar sizes. Going back to Milan tomorrow to watch Hot Rod Drag Week. |
Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Thats awesome!! Congrats. Enjoy drag week too, I'm jealous.
|
Re: Made my first pass down the strip.
Yep, 2 good days at the track.
