How does the new part look Chucky its between the seats on the bar? I also dont have to have the computer lying on the passanger side floor anymore

Does anyone know how much faster Mason Dixon is then PRP so I know where to set my goal.

I didn't catch it, and I can't watch it from here. I did see I won't be stepping on the computer anymore.

I don't think M-D is that much faster on average, just if they're getting a really good air day. On average I'm thinking .05 or so. The last time I had the Cutlass there it was pretty much on par as PRP, due to the rain and resulting humidity. And settle down, Beavis.

Mikey actually Mason is about .1 quicker than PRP. When I run down there I always carry a little more top end. (Its cause the track is built a little down hill).

Thanks AJ, I just dont want to be disappointed when we come home after being at M-D. I have my goal for PRP so I just wanted to see much much I should adjust it for M-D.

What is your PRP goal Mike?

10.90's at the worst. I dont ever want to see 11's again unless im really ripping it on the top end.

MattCadamore

i like that goal...i feel the same way...when i get my other car done i dont want to see 11s..ever

We'll see I didnt do to much. New suspension compared to a really really worn out suspension and a little bit of engine work. It might only run low 11's we'll see. As long as it goes straight and runs the number every week ill be happy.

Mike,
If the car runs the 10.90 you hope it does, you should consider running H/R class at the 2 Pro Am events.

That was my goal in making the car faster Dan. When I went last year to watch Scotty run it really made me want to participate. I actually wanted the car to be a little faster then 10.90 so I had some room to play with

. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

my goal is 8.90's about 185mph

Mike,
That's great to hear and I hope you'll be able to race with them. They are among the best of the best so you well know, and you'll need to have all your ducks in a row.

Mike that is pretty sweet hope it runs up to your expectations. H/R..I have that goal as well...don't know that it will happen for me though. Too many rules...will need a neck collar, fire pants..etc. Have you considered that it is a .500 pro tree and you footbrake? Might be tough.

Keith B.

Mike, Just got on and all caught up. Car looks great, sounds great but what further impresses me is.... man, is that garage nice to! LOL Good luck down at MD. By the way, when I was racing and went down there it was the same to .05 differant depending on air.

I can tell you guys if your considering running H/R...class racing is a ton of fun. I ran H/R with my Duster...would run 10.60's in good air...and my buddy footbraked a 10.90 car and did fairly well. Give it a shot...if you have any questions I'd be happy to help..there aren't many class racers here compared to my old tracks...I'd love to see more

....especially since we are lucky enough to have two divisionals here.

Scotty C

Mark the 500 pro tree with the cutlass running 12.0's was .025 or better every hit footbraking, the camaro was way red with transbrake thinking -.070ish and a good bit red footbraking like -.020ish, you guys would prob need a delay, but man those classes are sweet

March 03, 2010, 10:34 PM

Balaska347

I dont think Ill have a problem with the .500 pro tree but I'll just give it a try. Being that my car is injected there isnt much hesitation. When I run my Dad's car with the brake I leave in the same spot.

As for the neck collar and pants I was hoping Chuck or Greg was going to buy them for me. If not Im sure Scotty will let me wear his.

I want to do if for fun and to try something different.

MattCadamore

im sure chuck can cover you on the pants and neck collar...i heard he has a money tree in his yard

Eric,
I too am going to try my hand at H/R this year, although I am mostly going to bracket race. If you don't mind this spring I would like to get your opinion on my setup, and tell me what all these buttons and knobs do.
