New launch pic

[Dusty Bradford]

Here's a pic from one of my 1.29 60's at Huntsville a couple months ago. It was a printed pic a guy sent me so it's a scan. This was taken on the way up before I peddled it to keep it from getting too high. My friends behind the car said they could see the hood so it got up there....too bad the pic was taken so early.

My only update is that I have drag racing blue balls... went to the dyno last thursday, had some problems, got it sorted out friday, got rained out at the track while in tech on sat night, rained out sunday....

On the dyno, I figured out I had the wrong valve springs in the car.. wouldnt rpm past 5500 rpm, just hit a wall... I'll pm you some details-

Someone took it at Huntsville. I found a printout of it and scanned it which is where that pic is from. This was a 5.33 but I peddled it to get the nose down, really wish I had video of it. It got up a lot higher than that, I lost sight of the timing boards and it was drifting towards the right wall. Even with peddling and coming down right at the 60' it still went a 1.29. After this pass I set the travel limiters, made a swaybar adjustment and went the 5.25....

We set them to 14# in the staging lanes. I have been as low as 13# but it's not very consistent. They are very hard to hook on a high temp track also, much over 115 and you better pull some power out of it.
