coltboostin Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Nice pass, started out 9's and melting down autos, then 8's, now 7's, where does it stop :-) Before they got a suspension guy on board I am surprised he didn't put it into a wall with the alignment that was in it. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Before they got a suspension guy on board I am surprised he didn't put it into a wall with the alignment that was in it. Good work. If you watch the videos from before you can see that I did have to drive the hell out of it. Now it goes much straighter than before, Holt race cars helped us a ton with all of that. I have videos from the weekend, the track was really crappy and went away by the finals. I was all over the place in the finals, heading towards the center line, then back towards the wall. The car i was racing was a Nitrous car and they recover much faster than a Turbo car from bad track conditions. I tree'd the N20 car and had an "OK" 60' (1.40) in the finals. About 200' out both cars lost traction. The N20 Car peddled and recovered quickly, I peddled, shifted, was still spinning, peddled again, shifted again, finally caught in 3rd gear and blasted down to a 8 something pass but was too far behind the other car to catch up. I will put the weekend down as a success since we accomplished what we wanted to, a 7 second pass and to be competitive in the class. I had to race Ray Litz in the Semi's, who had a great showing for having not raced much in this class before. Ohio was repping well and we had a great time.

That is a recipe for disaster!! An Auto car like that should look like its on a rail. Glad you got it sorted out. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
