The track photographer got a pic of my car launching. I like how if you look closely you can see the bias ply wrinkle.

yea, that pic was a milisecond too soon. I'm pretty sure that run I got air. Oh well, there is plenty of 60' left in the car and she will get air when the launch is down in the 1.6's like it should be.

You want yours to hook like that one day Matt? Let me drive one day:nod:

you dont want it to hook like Vinnies, youll bog to a 1.8 60' :) you want it to spin to a 1.6 like my boat anchor LT1

yea, btw, the posi made a click on the way out of atco on Sunday. Definitely gonna start with 20 pounds in the tires so I know they'll spin and see what it runs.

12-03-2009, 07:01 PM
.... a click? you got a 9 inch so that you didnt have to baby it. if you want them to spin just launch higher. i spin them with 12psi and better suspension than you

JerzLT1
12-03-2009, 07:02 PM
and i have a 12 bolt! your mighty 9 inch should be able to withstand far more then my puny 12 bolt behind a 6 spd

im pretty sure daves camera takes multiple pics at a time (so ive heard anyway). i used to think the same thing, maybe a fraction of a second too soon or too late. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd186/98tadriv/air.jpg

on my 3.42 10bolt rear :)

This may sound weird or backwards but try lowering the tire pressure. I had the same problem as you did. The more pressure I put into the tires the harder it would dead hook and bog the car. Next time out give it shot, if it doesnt work, bump the pressure up. I usually run depending on the track condition between 13 - 16 psi. I've run as low as 12psi. So far my best 60 on motor is a 1.61

ok, good to know. Maybe I'll try that first. If the weather holds, I should be back on Sunday.

nah, just been really really busy lately, and its a pain constantly changing tires. Plus I broke 11s before the end of the year so I'm happy with that. And the weather isn't looking so good.
