Just about a week and a half away, anyone else think they're going to make it? Its not too often I'm able to get away for a day, so would be cool to meet up with some of you.
Well kinda stunk that there were no Durangos or Daks running at all, but I did win my first 3 rounds, and was one of the last 12 in my class. Had some bad runs, but then turned in my best to date, 15.97 @ 82.86 so that made me happy. Hope next time to see some of you guys there. I'll post some vids when I get em on the computer and uploaded somewhere.
Was funny someone told me they overheard soneone in the staging lanes towards the end of the day they couldn't beleive the Durango was still in it. That made me feel great, but then I lost my next race. Oh well!
Here I was doing a little burnout since my run before this I spun pretty good and started to kick out the rear end off the line. Oh yeah I sent that dude home about 16 seconds later. :lol:
Great job on the Cristmas Tree. Half the battle's right there I think. The D's powerband obviously proves to be very consistant and reliable.
When I read, "9.78 down to 9.25" on your Daughter's runs? I gasp. Is that 1/4Mile? Here in Indianapolis, Home of the US Nationals, we only think 1/4 Mile and I know there are 1/8mile tracks. Is she running the 1/4 in sub 10 seconds? If so? Nice! What HP is in those small dragsters?
On the D's runs? spare tire or no? Fuel load in terms of gallons? Octane for the gas? anything special?

We're a 1/4 mile track also, but juniors only run to the 1/8th.
The motor is a standard briggs motor, but with a 3" bore and the cam moved. It also has bigger valves and runs on alcohol.
It probably makes 35-40 HP out of what use to be a 5HP motor.
There's a lot of technology in the clutch also.
D is run with no spare, but now a trailer hitch since I need to tow her car.
less than 1/2 tank nothing special in the gas.
ran tires at 35psi all around. will usually pump up ftont to 45psi to help with rollout but didn't bother. and launch at 1k rpms.
Here are a few vids, only one of my runs, cause my buddy is an ass! Nice to bring a friend and he only tapes 1 of my 6 runs, and not even my best one either! There are a few other cool runs here too.
