Went to Mid-Michigan Motorplex today to see if the car still needs work to leave straight. First time there - a REALLY nice track just like I was told. Car left straight every run! Hmmm...was it the track or did my adjustments on the CalTracs work? Who cares!!
So instead of fighting the car leaving left, I could focus on reaction times and shifting by the new shiftlight. Still have a way to go but getting the hang of the Cheetah shifter and the shift light. Played with launch RPM (this is a foot brake car) so will have to get that figured out as I was too late at 2000 (0.060's) and way early at 2600. I'll get that figured out with some more outings.
It was 90F today and the track was running into about a 20 mph headwind. 1/8 mile only and ran 7.16-7.18. I was too lazy to lean out the jets for the temp so was happy where it ran. This was the car's first bracket race - and even won the first round. It didn't last but thats ok - was overall a good day. Hopefully more fun ahead!!
