first track time

Finally took the pig to the races last night. 5.4 w/comp cams and lightning upper elbow. c/a inlet. best run of the night was a 10.74 at 64mph (obviously 1/8th mile) ran exactly was i guessed it would. now i need to weigh it to get the hp numbers. too bad the best run was on a redlight!

What track did you run at? Short times?

If it was Windy Hollow.. Last two times I went there, I was highly dissapointed in the track prep. I couln't get under 2.1 seconds cause I was spinnin so bad. Alot of guy ran a couple times... complained.. ran some mroe and went home... Mad.

10.7 isn't bad.

Maybe later this fall, if your in Western Ky, we can meet up and run a few... Too hot out right now for good racing.

I have never heard of windy hollow. Short times were in the 2.1-2.3 range except when i screwed up and left it in second and ran a blistering 2.45 60ft and a 12 sec 1/8th! woo hoo! it was clarksville speedway. tower lane seemed to be slippery as i think i felt a little slip and could only run a 10.90 in that lane. the 10.74 came from the spectataor side and i felt no slip. time for a stall converter and a whole lot of practice!

I'm down for the racing!
