Well back to track today after having rest of cage welded in, kinda happy after adding 30-40 lb to the car..
First pass:
broke up really bad..
1.54 60 ft
10.5 @ 135 .. seemed like it loaded up rich again, but last carb move I had leaned secondaries more.. so reversed the move from 105 - 108 rear jets..

Second pass..
1.345 60 ft almost on bumper again..
6.16 @ 111.5 1/8 mile
9.68 @ 139.8

Third pass..
1.41 60 ft - spun pretty hard..
6.19 @ 111.3
9.75 @ 139.7

fourth pass..
1.340 60ft
6.15 @ 111.5
9.80 @ 127 - nailed brakes at end twice because I was past him pretty early - did not realize I had red lit.. wish I would have stayed in it to maybe get a new best again.

Not bad, would like to find out what car weighs - used to weigh 3440 with 350 and iron heads..
Anyone know difference between iron headed small block and alum headed BBC?? also added suspension parts and cage addition.. I am guessing about 3500 with me..

thats cool. i wonder what i would run in the 1/4. i wish we had a track close by. mine ran 7.039 and a 7.038 tonight. in the 1/8th. had a 1.52 60ft. i ran on a pro tree for the first time tonight. whoa what a difference. my first light was a 372. i worked on it and ended up deepstaging and got a .012. i don't think i have to worry about redlighting. but anything can happen. congrats on your new best.

they are having the pinks all out in bristol july 20-21. i plan on heading out there. but bristol (high elevation) in july. i doubt i'll be breaking any records. the track is about 2 hours from my house or i would go there more often. it would be just as easy for me to go to atlanta ga.
