hey gang,
i know craig griffis mostly lurks instead of posting, so i figured i woudl do a little biut of bragging for him since he made some good gains at the track friday.
a while ago craig ran a 15.56 @ 89.12mph with only a lid. he managed to cut a 2.21 60ft on the stock 3.23 peg leg.
well, we went back to the track last friday and craig had his eyes on running 14's with his recent mods. he added an SLP under chin, pro 5.0 shifter, and a posi(kept stock 3.23 gears). he also removed his rear seats and belts fo r weight reduction and we dropped the front sway bar to try to get a little weight transfer.
as many of you know, friday night was very @#$%*& cold. air temp was about 25 when he was racing.
the results were mixed. he did manage a best of 15.239 @ 92.xx mph, but his 60ft's were in teh 2.3's all night. everyone who was at atco was having traction issues, even the guys on huge slicks. the ground was plain old frozen.
we even strapped on a borrowed pair of slicks for a few runs but craig still managed to spin out of the hole and the extra rolling resistnace of the bias ply's cost him a ton of mph. he cut a 2.18 60ft, and ran 15.236@90 mph.
hopign for better track conditions in a few weeks when craig plans to head back to the track, hopefully get to see soem 14's out fo the car with just a few bolt ons.
