NHRDA Race

[Stingpuller]

I want to give a special thanks to Jason for helping out at the race, thank you again. It was nice to Meet Jason, Mike L and Guy Tripp in person. It was a awsome event with a big group of diesel minded people. I hope to get this pig to run what I think it will run and not miss. I'm going to try and run it this weekend is possible and put some fuel to it and hope for the best. Thanks everyone for helping and giving new thoughts and ideas. I run a new personal best and have been running in the 7's for a few months and starting to get a better handle on things. I run a 4.92 1/8 and a 7.78 1/4 with the motor missing bad. Thanks everyone!

Race

Thanks guys it was a good time. Nice to see you also Josh. I think that van is cool as hell! I like things that are different.I'll get it, we are headway on getting it there. The car itself makes me look good on the tree now that I have the staging down.

 

[JoshH]

Are you running a trans brake?

Thanks Rick D and I will be giving you a call this winter. Now I just need a second off the et and we will be golden! Josh yes I run a pro tree trans brake form Hughes Performance. It's a simple none lockup powerglide.

What is your staging procedure? I have a bump box that I need to get adjusted better to help me get it staged smoother, but I would be interested in hearing what your technique is.

 

[Stingpuller]

Bump box???

That's funny that you have one. I would assume Davis is what you have? I didn't figure anyone would know what they are or were to get them. I was going to run one but with my car having a normal pedal (foot) brake and a hand brake (2 sets of calipers) I can stage with plenty of boost and set the brake and be ready. If you have the davis bump box you should be able to adjust it to move as little or as much as you need. They make different models depending on your brake but it should work excellent! They are bad a$$ unit that I think you will like once you get it dialed in. I think it was tim that I talked to there but I don't remember for sure. 11.50's is fast congrat's

Yes, Davis Technologies. The guy I talked to was Shannon. He had to tell me how to reprogram the time settings on the course knob so I could get it to work with my brake. The converter I'm running is so tight, I can't get past 1600 RPM before it starts spinning the back tires, so I had to come up with something. I do need to play with the settings to get it dialed in, but this was just my second race with the Bump Box. I think we're going to try to take the van out once more this year when the air is really good and see what we can get out of it. I'd like to get it into roll bar territory on spray and in the 11s on fuel, but I'm not sure it's possible.

Great seeing you again Jeff as always. Man your race against Robinson and your RT was awesome. Good thing you were way out front, when he starting losing oil and came into the center of the track and taking out the lights was a bit scary. Good luck with the dragster and I hope you find out what the hell the miss is, that is maddening I'm sure.

What was your MPH on that 7.79 pass so I can update the quick 50 list?
