Wrong again mr. mikey.....I can make my car zerox timeslips...done it before and will do it again...and didn't have data acquisition when I did...Stop assuming you know my program. Have I had issues here? Yes...but every racer does with new stuff until they work out the bugs....nothing new here...and I know what they are now...they will get addressed after my move. Did I need help figuring it out? yep, not afraid to admit it either...

I also build my own engines and transmissions....and rear ends, frame repair/chassis upgrades, vehicle wiring, etc.....

You're not special, you're not "all that", and you're certainly no authority on anything. Explain again how you hit the cone at Bradenton and got booted from the track? Explain how you managed to get BANNED FROM YELLOW BULLET?????? A site that it's next to impossible to get banned from?????

Now, show us those zeroxed time slips, with YOUR CAR'S NUMBER on them. Show us the ones where you ran the same run after run after run......WITH YOUR CAR NUMBER ON THEM. Everybody else that says something about et on here and puts timeslips on their posts, HAS THEIR CAR NUMBER ON THEM, except you.....you just cherry pic et and mph info, and cover everything else up...You questioned Ed, yet he posted A TRUE, VALID, AND VERIFIABLE time slip up to prove his claim, something you STILL HAVE NOT DONE....just your cherry picked ones with select info covered up....So what do you have to hide mikey??

So, it's either time to put up or shut up.....one of the two. You post tuning info in every thread, yet have nothing to prove your results or you're right. I don't agree with Ed much or on many things, but at least his **** is proven and he's got the trophies to back it up, just like several other racers on here....What have you done lately????

My daughter would embarrass you on the track with her 1972 Cutlass four door...and she'd be happy to do it....at least she doesn't hit the cones going down track!!!


Heck my old Nova would print tickets and was before any sportsman had data acquisition systems,heck only folks who had them had blowers and nitro.

Work and get tune up right, change very little(my problem) and keep up with maintenance .Car will do the rest.

Alky is very hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs water. If you are in a humid area, and any time really, it's always a good idea to test to see how much water is in it. You use a hydrometer to do this.

Have you tried shrinking the larger tire RO that was discussed in a forum here?


Yeah, every time I think I've changed the size of one it ends up back where it started. But they had a weekend on them before I tried shrinking so probably never really had a chance.

Leave the starting line at 150. Run 1/8 mile and drive back to the pits it is 170. Running the fan, moroso electric motor driven, the entire run.


I am really surprised that we are 4 pages in, and nobody is suggesting it may be on the lean side? (Not necessarily main jets, could be air bleeds, or even idle mixture). Yes, alky is forgiving. But normally the air gets better at night, and if you are spot on, or on the fat side, you will stay same or pick up a bit. If you go backwards under better DA, you are probably lean. If I hit the box at 170*, I may see plus 5-10* at the turn-out or slip shack, but when I get back to the pits I am back at 170* I would go to 160 or 164 mains, and see what that does for you. JMHO,
Oh, and yes, whoever commented about late rounds = less cool-down = higher trans temp. I agree hotter fluid can definitely affect your down-track incrementals. But if the fluid is that hot, it will usually affect converter flash, R/T, and 60' too.

BTW, the cone you hit is the next one in front of the car, about two car lengths ahead of you in that pic......


You're triggered.

This is the 660 ft finish line foam block you keep jumping up and down like a child claiming I
hit.

It's self evident the block is sitting on the finish line behind the cars unmoved, meaning neither car is responsible for the foam block, at this point.

You claim there's another block, while Bradenton won't clarify why they put the station wagon back in the race, 45 minutes after declaring it loser.

Both are admissions of deceit. Keep lying the same as Bradenton, the Evidence is never going away.
