Got some shakedown testing done tonight...
Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... Pretty Awesome that you just coasted into the 10 second all-motor club. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
A glide would be cool, but I hope you give the beefed up 350 one last try.

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... Sounds like a nice solid 10.30-40 setup. Exactly what I want. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... AWESOME! 10.9 shutting down at the 1/8th is REALLY REALLY great George! Good stuff!
best of luck with everything. How are your pulsewidths looking? What did you set your FP at afterwards?
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... I *think* you'll be faster staying with a 3 speed.
I've been trying to talk myself into a glide for my next setup. It's not the 1st gear that bothers me. I can make up for that with 5.13 gears. It's the HUGE drop between 1st and 2nd gear. I would be better geared for more of the track with a 3 speed. 'Course, that Glide sure is light! Hmmm...rotating mass reduction + weight reduction = makes up for gearing disadvantage???
BTW, congrats on the successfull shakedown runs. Sounds like she's gonna haul some serious ***! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... George,
Congrats on the times man!! Glad to see the car is not gonna stay in the garage the entire 2002 season <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> You just seem to have the luck on breaking things though <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> Seems the new piece will do the job, sorry I missed the initial outing. Saturday night was rain again (wow surprise??) Hopefully after a few weeks I'll be back out at the track again, and you'll have your beast in the 10.40s or better with a hook! By the way, is John stealing leftover parts from you for his red twin now??

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... Thanks again for the kind words, everyone...
The 'glide went in today, so I should have the car out Wednesday to see how well the car is going to work with a 2-speed.

Re: Got some shakedown testing done tonight... I was at Gainesville Friday night also...I am VERY impressed with the car! I think I've talked to you a few times at JAX Raceways. But anyway, congrats on the awesome runs (the car just looks plain NASTY when it launches) and look forward to talking to you next time I see you at the track!
