Couple vids from track

[johnplogii]

Took the car to the track last night, ran good for the first time out. 5's shouldn't be hard, I wasn't pushing it at all. 60ft's are really coming around with new springs, afco shocks & newer tires. Powered by a DLS iron headed 109, 70hpq turbo.

Thanks guys, those 60fts were both 1.32, I think I can improve that too as the local track isn't always the best for traction & this was just the initial guess on where to set the double adjustable afco's. It did spin on the 6.01 pass. Might be able to get it in the 1.20's. Sure feels good to go to the track & have everything work out well.

I am officially ready for the buick/ford shootout and the gs nats.

Very impressive! Who's slicks were you using?

My best friend James loaned them to me.

Nice work John!
I was beginning to wonder where you have been. We usually talk by this time of year with a progress report.:wink:

Great work John, and well deserved!

Nice!! You need to bracket race that monster

 

[johnplogii]

Thanks Brian and Cal, the thing is I don't like bracket racing, I like trying to go just a little faster. Setting a new quicker time is better than winning money to me. The car always has run very consistantly though.

John: The videos are impressive. I refer to the desire to always run faster as "the greed for speed".:biggrin:

See you in Noble in a couple of weeks and would really like to see you get into 1.20's there.
