BTR69Talk about pre-race, racing & post-race; good or bad.
Evenin y'all. I may be about ready to hit the road tomorrow afternoon for GALOT and the CCRA races this weekend. Pulled tranny Sunday to do a few PM things. Big benefit to this was, made a lot more room for me to get behind the dash to swap out the temp gauge. Took base pressure from 450# to 427#. Don't know how much that may affect things, but we'll find out. When car hooks hard, which is almost every launch, I believe it's pulling my rpm down more than I'd like. Also had a few times losing traction on green, so hoping this helps. If not, I can always go back to 450#, or loosen it up more. Also did a basic clutch inspection and everything appears ok to my untrained eyes. Temp gauge swap went easy, as expected. Didn't get to do a good cleaning on the car yet as I hoped, which I may not get time to do tomorrow. Hoping to get some TNT tomorrow afternoon before the main events Saturday & Sunday. Assuming all goes well this weekend, I may be going to the NHRA D2 National Open in Darlington next week.
In honor of Floyd,,, "Old Guys Rule".
Y'all have a great weekend.
