I'll be there Sunday, and will probably be bringing a small group from the Middle-TN F-body club.

Thanks

WE had some more gremlins pop up BUT we qualified. The car had serious tire shake problems about 50 ft out. One pass it was so bad the tire got ahold of the quarter panel and ripped the wheel well lip off the car. Sat nite we pulled the computer and the complete rear suspension off the car. We found a broke coil spring on the rear end(QA1 made in china junk). We repaired it and went to first round sunday morning. The car ran a 5.36 with a serious surge but we won. We pulled so much power out sat. that it was running way too fat and trying to foul the plugs. For the second round we put the 5.07 tuneup from Hattiesburg back in and raised the 2 step to 4000 rpm. The car left with a 1.28 60ft on the rear tires and was on a run. I had an electric shifter on the car and it failed to make the gear change. By the time the driver realized it he was on the rev limiter and the other car got around us. The electric shifter is somewhere in the parking lot at Huntsville where it landed when I threw it.

I am trying to rent SCD sunday to get all the bugs out before South Carolina next weekend.

Still, It was good to see you guys run Madman, and great to meet you!

Let me know when you get the gremlins worked out, i'd love to come and watch you whip up on Shane Stack!!! It's just TOO easy for that guy to go fast it looks like!


Here's a pic someone took of the car for you guys. I think we also got the 5.3x pass on video, so i'll post that later for you here as well.




Was the busted rear spring the reason the tire was rubbing on the RR??

The QA1 parallel coil over springs are indeed junk, I dont know who specs them but they use too many coils and they are almost stacked up at ride height with the proper rate and I tried a few different rates. AFCO or hypercoil are a ton better thats for sure..

Good luck in Carolina..
