New best for Burntire 10.05

[burntire]

First Trip to the track running E-85. Picked up 2MPH over the race gas. Track was a little soft so I had the two step backed off some compared to the best time on race gas. 9's are in sight.

Ignition timing changes?

[burntire]

Whipple 2.3L 19 PSI, Solid Axle, TH-400, 3:55 Gears

Same timing as the race gas. Gains are a result of fuel change only.
Car ran consistent in the 10.19 -10.22 range with on time best of 10.15 on VP109.

I looked at a bunch of old data. For the most part it is about a 2.5 MPH and.15 ET gain based on many timeslips in similar conditions. The car has more in it with a harder launch. So switching to E-85 is a good deal.

Quit posting videos I'm having enough problems coping with the off season!

Haha just kidding man, that 9 sec slip will be very nice, great run.

Hey Jeff - nice run! Chris Fick ( my sister's hubby ) said you had a fast Cobra, but I didn't know you were still in the area or on SCS - I did a double-take when I heard your name in the video. I still remember a ride you gave me back in the early 90's in you '89 (?) LX 5.0, getting sideways in 4 gears on Brodhead Road. Other than that, I think the last time I saw you was at their wedding? Anyway, nice car!

Take it easy.

Hey Ron good to hear from you. I have been in AZ since 2004. The LX was my Black 90 with a Powerdyne Blower with a hugh 6PSI pulley. When this site crashes or needs work Lou calls me.

Here are all my videos all the way back to when the car still had IRS

I had all my excuses ready for the track officials. "No Way, Clocks must be messed up, must be some good air".

LOL. This car has an auto. Takes some serious skill to shift.
