slow day at the track

1slo5.0 · April 15th, 2006, 09:43 PM

Today was my first day out after making alot of changes on the car. Things didn't go so well. Car got very loose on every pass. I even tried foot braking it but that didn't help either because the problems started about 80 feet out. I have some things to change and then I'll head back to the track in a couple of weeks. Best pass was a 6.62 1/8 mile and 10.90 at 108mph coasting from the 1/8 mile. The car 60 footed 1.33 but after the front wheels came back down I had to pedal the car quite a bit which turned into aborted passes on every run. Going fast sucks.

I haven't made a full pass with the car yet. On that pass it went 1.33 60 foot, 6.62 at 108 in the 1/8th and 10.90 at 108 in the 1/4. I peddeled the car down to the 1/8 mile and was completely out of the throttle after the 1/8 mile and coasted to a 10.90. I'm going to make some adjustments and get back out there.

gonna be mean when ya get a full pass. Should be 10.20's-30's easy

Twist 2 Go · April 17th, 2006, 07:32 PM

on the upper control arms, how far up is the pivot point relocated? And is it straight up from the stock position or has the upper arm been made shorter than stock to compensate for the pivot point being moved up & out?

It better not go that slow. It will go 9.20s - 9.30s when I get it sorted out. Maybe even faster. We shall see.

I don't know exactly how much of a change it is but it is relocated on the housing and is still stock suspension legal. The upper arms are shorter than stock.
