First passes, new car
We got the altered put together Sunday. They had a special T&T last night. It's 150" wheelbase '32 Bantam.
Mild 454 from ATK engines http://www.high-performance-engines.com/
Pg tranny
4.56 Ford 9" (wrong gear for the set-up)
33" tall tire
All the passes were footbraking a little over idle.
The car would hit the high side chip 1 car length past the 1/8 mile finish.
So I had to just ride along the 2nd half of the track.
1st pass 2nd 3rd
60' 1.593 1.563 1.358
330 4.370 4.240 3.990
1/8 6.72 6.565 6.276
mph 102.95 103.00 106.25
1000 8.979 8.691 8.422
1/4 11.438 10.750 10.448
mph 83.11 101.19 107.94

Short times dropped from the 1.50's to 1.30's? quite an improvment.
