Well just got home and the FE Reunion was great. I don’t think there was as many cars as usual but it was close. What there was was a lot of different cars that I’ve never seen before. Including Russ with his twin turbo Fairlane. Well back to the meat and potatoes. I got my fastest time this weekend with a 11.07. I got a couple of them and a couple of 11.08s. Throw in a splatter of times up to 11.23. I got tossed in the second round of hot FE by a nice T bolt. I cut a good light .047 but spun the tire off the line and just didn’t have it that run, that was my 11.23. Well got to hang with my buddies Steve and Ed who bought a Blair Patrick motor and cut there times by over a second. Thanks to all who made it happen

Stangman I think we ran each other first round on Saturday. I had the white ‘67 Fairlane. You cut a much better light than I and just couldn’t catch you. Good run!

Saw your car run once on Saturday, that thing gets a ton of separation in the rear suspension on launch but looked nice and controlled, looks like you’re making plenty of progress!

Thanks John you have a nice car and I don’t have the slip in front of me but I think we both cut a bad light, we were both sleeping but we had a lot of fun. This is what I was talking about I think last year or the year before, we should have like name tags so we can put a name to the face.

Thanks Chilly, I don’t really think that separation is supposed to happen but for the most part my car hooks but maybe I could get it right and gain some time out of it.

Would have liked to meet both of you guys.

I was running around like a nut, didn’t really intend to run my car but once I got there decided to make some laps so I had to get it teched last minute and such, hectic day.   I need to get up for Thurs/Fri when there’s more time to check out cars and relax a bit

Nice job, Joe. What speeds were you running? Don't forget that Beaver is uphill, and I'm guessing that would have put you right at the 10 second mark if it was flat. What was the wind like this year? Wish I could have made it.

All my MPHs were between 118.87 and 120.90 unless I got of the car in one of the passes. I have gone as fast as 121.97. Across from me this week was a 66 fairlane the same color as mine with a Jericho and he was 123/124 and running 10.70s so I don’t know if it’s because he has a stick or something wrong with my setup but if I get 1 to 2 miles an hour I’m not going to pic up 3 tenths

A stick car will generally MPH higher due to no convertor slippage. His 10.70 would also account for more MPH compared to your 11.0. Other than you ran the same track at the same time so weather wasn't a factor, I wouldn't read too much into the MPH because there's too many variables between cars to compare. Your car ran good, had fun and no one got hurt so congrats.

Congrats on another personal best.  Car has come a long way - all from tuning since as I understand it the basic combination still remains the same as when it was screwed together a few years ago.  Nice work.

Thanks Barry yeah all the same. I was going to jet up the secondaries 2 numbers because I never did it when I went from the low riser intake to the medium riser. Took it apart and forgot to bring jets with me of course. The guy next to me CHris who is in charge of the Cobra jet registry had a pair of 84s but I need 4 and I think going from 81 to 84 would be a lot. I think 83 would be good. Sorry you couldn’t make it this year.

Thanks Posi 67 I guess sometimes you think to much into it. But yes the main thing is we made it through the weekend.

Stangman,
This is SUCH a great thread - keep it going!
I just followed it thru with the Gonkulator as best I could.
Very interesting - the parts where you ran with/without air cleaner and mufflers.
Gonkulator says your air cleaner costs about 10 Net HP, mufflers cost about another 20 Net HP.
(note neither one of these affects GROSS HP).
Also the Gonk thinks the Med Riser intake is adding 28 ftlb and 34hp, now peaking at 6000 instead of 5800.
I had been shifting the Gonkulator at 6400, and raising it to 6600 only gained .01 sec and 0.1mph so no point revving it to the moon.

Mainly, if you can take note of the weather, and even the WIND - it affects the MPH a lot with a brick-like car that fast. Even a walking-speed wind of 4mph will cut over 1mph off your trap speed.
Even on my little 300-400hp GTECH runs, I always note the Temp, Pressure, Humidity, Altitude, and wind.

With the kind of traction & launches you've already done, combined with decent weather, the car Gonkulates 10.83-10.93 at 123-124mph, all shifted at 6400.
So great to follow all this.
