I bought me a GoPro last year but couldn't get their software to work with my computer and or laptop. Dug back in, this spring and was able to get it to work on my laptop. Got the suction cup on my front fender and when to the test and tune at are local 1/8-mile track. I bought the GoPro because I’m usually by myself.
Today I had my buddy helping me because his dragster was not back together yet.
My goal was to break into the 7s (1/8 mile)........as was my goal last year. My best was an 8.079(didn't make it out to the good air in the spring last year (6600 foot, today adj started out at 8800 and went to 9261 by days end.)
I tried to keep some of the funnier comments, but most had to go to keep it under 15 minutes. 8 hours crunched into 15 minutes.
First run was slow [email protected] 2nt run was an 8.029 not recorded, third run I tried to make my 3-speed auto into a four speed by shifting 1-2-3 back to 2..........then three. 4th run was a problem because I pulled the shifter into 2nt at the launch Yup 2sp auto this time: lol: It ran only .347 slower. Run number 5 I finally got serious about it. As noted in video ;) and made my first 7, a 7.98, Backed it up with a 7.99 and then I added 2 degrees timing.(33 too 35 total) Don't know if it was the air getting bad at the end of the day or it didn't like the 2 more degrees timing. Stayed in the 8's and mph from 86.5 to 86.2, 86.3
I started air pressure in the back slicks at 12 psi. we keep adding air pressure until it spun at 20 psi. when back to 18. My last run i drop the psi back to 15(because 15 psi, seam too high to me) and turn the Gopro at the back slick. First one at normal speed and 2nt at Slow Mo. kind of interesting............
