Tech starts at 4, first runs at 5. By 7 it is usually an hour wait in the lanes between runs.what time does it start........
:devil:
It's only another $10 to run your car after you pay admission. You'll spend more than that on gas to get there and back.might take the car i dont know yet gotta ask the misses to see if we have the money other than that i might go to watch :yes:
It's rough chasing down traction gremlins. That car is nice, and when it hooks up finally it will be a very quick car.
What's going on with his front end travel? Pinion angle? I bet that might help something. I just found out that Harbor Freight sells magnetic degree thingy for $10 to check pinion angle. It's in my toolbox now.
I bet there's a lot to be found in the front suspension...
does the rear suspension unload after the launch? i've heard of cars launching good and hitting the rear tires so hard that they sort of 'bounce back' and the car rocks forward and makes it so the rear tires don't have all the weight on them. how quickly does the front end come up? can you fairly easily pull the front end up 2-3"? on my race car i'm able to pretty easily pick the front end up a few inches. my wagons have never been able to do that, but i'm also not racing those.Aron, thanks. I have about 4 to 5 inches of travel in the front and videos show I am getting a fair amount of lift when it hooks. Pinion angle is 3 deg down. Obviously I have more tuning to do to make it consistent.
I don't think that is the problem. When I bury the throttle, the tires spin a few revolutions, the car sits there and then it hooks and goes. Sometimes it spins just a little, other times it seems like it sits there foreverdoes the rear suspension unload after the launch? i've heard of cars launching good and hitting the rear tires so hard that they sort of 'bounce back'
What front and rear shocks are you running?I don't think that is the problem. When I bury the throttle, the tires spin a few revolutions, the car sits there and then it hooks and goes. Sometimes it spins just a little, other times it seems like it sits there forever. I have 2 maybe 3 runs where it hooked right away and that is when I got my best 60 fts (1.65) and best ET. When it spins it goes at least 0.1 seconds slower, sometimes 0.3 slower
. Last night I think my 60 fts ranged from 1.75 to 2.00, leaving at the same rpm with same tire pressure every time.
I'd bet the tire temps varied a lot because your burnouts vary a lot.Last night I think my 60 fts ranged from 1.75 to 2.00, leaving at the same rpm with same tire pressure every time.
I agree. I am trying to get more consistent but they still vary quite a bit. My first burnout last night was my best, but still didn't hook very well. The second was actually shorter but it was my best 60 ft and ET.I'd bet the tire temps varied a lot because your burnouts vary a lot.
