Re: Ernie King & Zturd beware

No good numbers to post Ernie...the car had nothing in it tonight, I guess from the heat ? It was 81 degrees with 50% humidity. My trap speed was 1 mph slower than the stock bottom end...it just had no pull over 5000 rpm

It took me 3 runs to figure the clutch and tire pressure..not too bad there.

1.669 sixty - 11.287 @124.55 mph eighth = 7.269 @ 97.84 mph 14 psi cold
1.733 sixty - 11.323 @ 123.5 mph eighth = 7.285 @ 99.06 mph 14 psi hot

Then Got flagged for no roll bar...kept tires at 14 psi hot

1.573 sixty - 12.62 @ 58 mph (on the brakes), eighth = 7.171 @ 97.07 mph

1.584 sixty - 11.495 @ 91.24 mph (on the brakes) eighth = 7.152 @ 96.4 mph

I was slowly increasing my launch rpm..first was 4000, 4200, 4500, 4800..then 5000...Then..I Broke the hardened half shaft...had to drag it on the trailer with my tail between my legs after one hour of racing. I had just lowered the tire pressure to 13, because she was spinning at 14 (bad luck tire pressure #..usually run 11.5-12.0) I was really feeling some 1.4 sixtys coming. New twin McLeod Clutch was doing great. If I could have gone down some in tire pressure...I was there. I was still spinning on my 1.5 sixty's. I have a vid of my first 2 runs but can't down load yet. Have to reload the software on my new hard drive and it won't accept the SN
