Burn out issues
Went to Epping. Set the rear bars with a friend Mike in the car. Made them equal. Instead of preloading the right. Adjusted the shocks to the specs Viking recommended.12 c 5 R in the front and stiff 9 c and 14 r. Pushed the brake pedal harder than I ever have and set the line lock. A good burn out with no rear end sway! 1.586 60 foot 10.278 at a new high mph at 133.67 at a low 6200 through the trap.
Next run exploded the tires at launch and all through 2nd. Went back to the pits. 2 hours later I decided I'd run the car without the hood. Took it off to find my moroso crank breather grommet had split and oil had sprayed onto the headers....2 and done. Didn't think having a fire was worth taking a shot with duct/electrical tape.
So I can't verify my shock settings were good but the 5 guys I was with all racing said the track conditions had deteriorated since it got warm. That I should use the right lane, which I did. Only plus was I cut an .059 light.
Thanks everyone for the support and suggestions. Hey and I must say I'm so happy racing fuel prices are not as bad as I thought they would be. At least here. 57.50 for 5 gal of 110 leaded 61 for 5 at LVD
