Re: New project

Div 4 bracket finals , ended up finding my footbrake spot . Long story . I ended up brending the brake pedal away from the gas peddle , adjusting the rod into the master cylinder , and geasing that pivot point , readjusted the bars and went for it . I was late at first and was moving around on the launch rpm . I finally found a good spot at 2000 rpm . I could stage the truck with the brakes and they would hold . I also figured out the bump in pretty quick as last year i won a race off the footbrake . Ended up with 3-.036's and a .035 . Lost on a double breakout as i only had 11" to back up . Pretty tough at 100 mph . The more i loaded it up on the converter the less it smoked . Guessing the rings were seating in . Good outting none the less . Had a great time anyway .

Guess the next question is if we will have a footbrake or NO-E class next year . That will decide how things go . Definatly going to concentrate on the S-10 and getting to know it during the winter teardown .
