Pretty sure Fred32V was referring to what we, back in the 60's, sometimes called "Clarabell" wheels. Here is a picture of the Ramchargers Dodge, which is the first i remmeber seeing with these. So if you can find stock type wheels, this is an option http://s14.postimage.org/m6bwazu5p/Clara...

Do the time slips at 1/4 mile tracks typically also show 1/8th mile times? Yes, you'll typically get 1/8 mile ET + 1/8 mile MPH. -Dave You will also get 1000 ft. So you should have your Reaction Time (usually a bummer), 60 ft, 330 ft, 1/8 mile, 1000 ft and 1/4 mile et and MPH. Thats the dat you wil...

Yeah, but the table twidling looks like fun too!! WXO was showing me the graphs of the logs from the runs. That is COOL!!!!

But think of all the sensors you need! Its enough to enough to drive you "sens(or)less"

OH MAN! I go away fro a week of vacationing in the Dominican Republic and you guys go and have the REAL FUN! Maverick i am glad to see your car starting to work out! The victory of man (human controlled Maverick) over machine (computer controlled TB SS)! I love it! Seriously, it looked like a lot of...

Actually they advertise line locs as a safety device. You know as a way to hold on a hill. So it would be for safety That's good!! Also, how about a leak-down tester for front brakes? :lol: Many of the serious racers do have a brake pressure gauge on the front brakes. So they will see "leakage...

Oh, MAN!! Another project.

Sounds good, other than no line loc. I'll try it with left foot on the brake. Thanks.[/quote]

Along the lines of what BP said.. You want to be completely OUT of the water when you start your burnout. Otherwise you are just throwing water all over and up into the wheelhouse and chassis, where it will drip back out when you stage. Go into the water, no line loc, hit the throttle to spin the ti...

Definitely cars with street tires do screw up the rubber left down by the faster cars with slicks. Never thought about why, but it is true. BP and Mostmint both make sense with their thoughts. In any event the street tires actually pick up the rubber at the start line. Most of he tracks, on race day...

When is the next test and tune?

I think it was 2008. I was driving my driver car 1998 Grand Prix on the Taconic Parkway doing about 75 mph. I heard a loud BANG! Immediately thought 'blowout" grabbed the wheekl with both hands, but nothing happened. As i glanced in the side view mirror I saw lots of white smoke from the driver...

Almost looks like he is on the Moon

If I can find a scoop like that for you...and with your drag radials it oughta look something like this! If you can't beat that TB SS...you can certainly scare it

onee inch spacer is too much. I doubt your studs are long enough for that. Keep looking One inch spaces bolt onto the hub using the existing studs and come with another, clocked set of studs to mount the wheel. Think the existing studs have to be shortened a bit to not interfer with the wheel. http...
