Title: Got to do some testing Saturday
Post by: ec164 on October 01, 2018, 11:33:34 AM: Here's some videos from testing Saturday at Ubly Dragway, I entered a 10.5 tire NO ET shootout, finished third, I lost trip to final against Silver Malibu on a Holeshot, sleeping on a .400 Pro Tree. He has a 582 BBC went 5.71 to my 5.64 both of has went 123 mph and change. His .09? bulb to my.234 got him the win. Went a string of 5.65s, very happy with car! Need to work on 60' as it should do better than 1.28 and 1.29 even crossing scale at 3125 lbs. More seat time will help as well.....Al

Thank You...I guess cool damp Michigan weather 58/60* 88/90% humidity requires hoodies for some! DA ??? don't know. The track surface is very old! Thank God they were able to lay some new cement(200') a few years back, it also sits on highest ground in area! Al

Thank You Doug Always enjoy reading your posts! Have never mentioned Dyno horsepower. Jim Kuntz said,"that's the most repetitive one I've ever built, put it in car where it matters most." I'm understanding now as I get this new chassis figured out, "numbers on the track mean more." Kinda neat too, having folks ask at the track why my car sounds so different, and telling them, "it's an ole' FE"..... 8) Al
