another possible 9 sec n/a lt1

first pass on new setup n/a
10.99@130.4
7.21@104.84
1.78 60 ft. car had nasty bog out the hole

a lil tweaking

10.87@130.2
7.08@103.23
1.71 60 ft.
still bad bog off line

racers opted to go 1/8 since track conditions were getting chancy
finally getting most the bog out it went
6.53@105.63
1.46 60 ft

lil more tuning and

6.46@106.32
1.43 60 ft

nearly 6 1/10's improvement over the 10.87 pass in the 1/8 and 3 mph..utilizing 4.11 gear set and 28x10.5 tire and footbraking shifting at 6900...All things considered it should be a verly low 10 if not a high 9 sec capable setup in the 135 mph range... Gonna give it a shot tommorow with most the bugs worked out and see how things change through the whole 1/4..

great times. it sounds like a very low 10, from the 1/8 mile et. a little tweaking here and there and 9's should not be a problem.

why was it bogging so bad?
