I did it !!! not by much ,,,BUT,,, I did it!
Saturday:
Things didn`t work out like I thought but thats racing !!
I figured stuff would work different after the changes made last week but as it goes it was start from scratch on getting everything to dial in.
Now that I have more air the secondaries bogged big time on the first timing run out of the hole so I let up and stabbed her again only to bog again,,,, only getting in the mid 14`s,,, pppp,uuuuuuuuu !!
O Well, thinking I had all day to try different stuff.
Popped the stacks and tightened the secondaries,,,,LOVE THESE AVS`s !!!
Second run still a bog but not as bad,,, into the 13`s again ,better but bummed.
Then the bad news,,,, Time trials over !! ONLY two runs each !!
I had to pay ten more dollars to run in the Dash for cash eliminations,,, winner takes all. Thats fine and dandy buy it should be trials all day.
Tightened the secondaries even more and the next pass was GREAT !! No bog and into the mid 13`s again, almost where I was last week.
Was winning the first round but knew I was going to break out so let her up and darn if I didn`t let up too soon and lost on the dail in.
O well again ,,,thats racing,,, :?
Meet and enjoyed my new best friends !! Paul (garbageman) and Sandy Carbaugh from the Oregon coast and Steve Geagory and his wife (sorry Steve I`m spacing your wifes name) and their friends.
GREAT folks,,, the kind you feel like you`ve known for years and they treat you the same !!!
Anyway, Paul was having the same problems with the bog as me but is using the AFB`s which you can`t adjust.
Then there`s Steve,,, our mentor !! heeee heee
His single carb stock stroke `09 runs in the mid 11`s and is consistent !!!
Both Pauls and Steve`s cars are super nice !!
Sunday:
Good news we get two more trial runs !!
First run tighten the secondaries more and heated the converter up good and now have several hundred more launching rpm.
Looking better.
My reaction times have been good ,,,in the .040 and .030`s
Paul was trying different things and got the bog to go away with a lower launch rpm and more air in the tires for a little spin off the line.
Steve? ,,,,, well he just kept us impressed !! And a ball to watch !!
The air got better and we all started running faster !
With the stall getting higher my reaction times were getting too good and lit the wrong lite !!! (red)
Eliminations started ,,,,,
I set my dial in at 13.22 not having the time runs to try any thing else like jetting after spending the other runs working on the bog.
Got the launch rpm in the high 3`s and took off better then ever and she ran smoother then ever before through all gears !!!
I knew I was going to break out but kept my foot through the floor !!!
Besides,,,,red light !! by .038
12.99 @ 103.23,, 60ft @1.861 !!!!!!
I know with some more runs on the Friday nites when I can get at least 6 or 7 runs I`ll be able to try more stuff and get a few more tenths off !!
All in all it was a great time and I`m happy !!
Only better times to come !!
Paul got into the low 13`s , 13.20 I believe and should be running neck and neck with me next time we meet up. bang
And Steve,,,,,, 11.55 !!!
Me just starting my burn out,,,,,,,
Steve coming off the line,,,
The posse,,,,,,,,
