So I'm a wheels up virgin with no where enough power, gearing or set up to get a single wheel up YET. Wouldn't that be a weight and balance issue? I know if my plane is to heavy in the tail, I have to fight it to keep the nose down and keep flying forward. Maybe your shock/spring combo is to soft on initial launch allowing the power to shift to far? When I used to run sprints in track and field, I could tell in the first 3 steps if I wasn't leaning far enough forward to maximize my launch. What is the fix to keep your wheels down besides magic spells to talk to the track and know what your traction would be before a run. Maybe your set up is good and its simply up to your timing as stated at the end?Yes...wish I had one. I bumped the limiter in the 1-2 gear change. The front end came down as I pulled second and the front end came sharply up. The pass was spoiled so I aborted the run. I have executed the second gear change in the air. The car carries the front wheels all the way to third gear.
We were at St Louis with two goals. First to pickup a couple of grading points. Second to find the clutch tune. We were successful at both. It did turn out that we were low qualifer among the Super Stock cars...a little over a second under the index...that pass before we had the clutch dialed in...8.55 @ 158 mph. There is definitely an 8.40 in the car...now it is up to the driver
The car does what it is supposed to do. Unless you're in the seat you probably won't understand. The 1-2 gear change occurs 1.2 seconds into the run. Your head is pinned to the seat and the motor is at 9200
