Bracket racing
.........him.........me
dial in..13.75.......14.16
r/t......0.081.......0.042 <-treed him!
60.......2.001.......1.858 <- new best n/a
330......5.684.......5.621 <- new best n/a
1/8......8.780.......8.833
mph......80.22.......76.15
1000.....11.487......11.625 <- let off
1/4......13.770......14.009 <- DOH!
mph......96.97.......91.88

I shoulda kept in it on the above run! Comparing it to my 13.931 pass of last year.... this would have probably been a 13.8 run. With bracket racing you want to come as close as possible to your dial in w/o going faster than it

I did a good burn out, front shocks to 1, rear to 6, skinnies 50 psi, drags 19 psi, stalled to 2400 and smashed the throttle


Now.... you may say....... 4:10's gained NOTHING?

I said this also..... but.... I've been experiencing this lack of stall situation... car pushing at the line...mushy brake pedal.. I SHOULD launch at 3,000 rpm's but could not see it.

Brake pads new
Rotors fine
Fluid changed
Tires good

Seeking assistance from my hard core drag racing buddies led me/ them to one conclusion.

Bird has 95,000 miles on it
1200 passes on it
Repeated 2500-3000 stalled launches

Front rubber brake lines are swelling upon prolonged high stalls! So..... time for steel braided brake lines. I've got my summit mag next to me now....and...Russel and Earl's makes kits.

Once those are done.... back to the track... I should have them here/ installed by the end of the week and attempt again.

Craig..... you had a good shot today to beat me [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm only gonna get quicker [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh yeah....

Unfortunately, I work on Saturdays. However, I will be at Atco every Tuesday night from now till November. Last tues was a disappointment due to some tuning issues. This tuesday will be the 13 second day for me, mark my words. At least a 13.930 @ 98 will be achieved.

[vanbibber]

no nitrous runs?

[12secondv6]

Nah, not this time.

I learned I need to address brake lines.... then 1 more time N/A... then spray!

[1DangerousV6]

nice..looks like some good things are in store for when you get the brake lines replaced..id like to see the nitrous gains too!
