Robin,
Did you change you front wheels out for smaller ones to match the rears. What kind of gains do you think you got from the wheel swap. Still going back and forth on getting smaller wheels. If I could see a significant gain it would be worth it. Whats the latest with your rear end, any luck yet? |

The Mickeys helped in both effective ration as well as compound. It was hit or miss with the Nittos the last several times I was running. With the extra power it would spin. I have worn through 2 clutches slipping them off the line. I now have a clutch that I can slip without killing the heat treat in the diaphram LOL. Nothing on the rear end yet. It looks like we may go to an automatic to get the advantage of a torque converter. Of course that is at a cost with the losses through the automatic. But then again if you can't get the traction or 60' then your dead anyway. Should be interesting. Robin

I am getting ready to replace my clutch right now. Still looking at a few different manufactures. By buddy that is a serious racer said the same thing about swapping out my trans for a auto. He also wants me to put a solid rear axle in. Both are way to extreme for me. I'm not going to make this a full racer, just want to upgrade what I've got.

I am fiending to get to the strip. Went on Saturday but there was bracket racing going on. This Friday though there's a test and tune and then midnight madness on Saturday, so I'll finally be able to run. It'll be my first time and I'm bone stock (other than sways and trailing arms) so I'm not expecting anything big.

No worries, I just picked up my car yesterday and once I break it in I'll have my boyfriend run it at the track. Should see some decent times at Atco Raceway in Atco, NJ this fall. So keep waiting for it to break in.

We are going to get there Wednesday night, I want a chance to the track to do some T&T on Thursday, & will go to all the parties. Did some work to the car today, was going to get some times @ the track, but it was closed due to weather. I'll have to wait until next wed to get it to the track.

I've been running my car hard. I had my first dyno and made 12 passes when the car had 850 miles on it (second week I had it with 1 week being gone at the body shop). Been waiting for good air to go get a few more baselines before the first round of mods.
I also am awaiting another open track day as I missed the last sadly. I will be running the car hard on both drag strip and road course to see what this car can do. Dyno-queen it is not! Attempting to get good weather to move up the list of "fastest stock times." I'll have the benefit of nice air but already have a good time considering the conditions. May try your hard launches you mentioned in another thread! |

I really want to take mine to the track, ive never had a car i could before, now i do, and ive never been on a track, so Im kinda nervous. I was told one time that if u cant afford to fix your car when u race it, to dont race it, so not sure what to do, i guess i should just go do it.
