Following Bob's perfect pass formula (1320/MPH)
that works out to 10.819, seems to me you're
really hauling the mail there sir. Think you have
some converter slip on the top end?

**Martin0660** · 06-16-2017, 03:35 PM

MPH is down on that combo compared to anything. That auto and AWD is a curve ball to any calculations

It's best pass to date was a 10.68 at 119.

Here is the time slip.

Only picking up 20mph on the back half.....

What does it weigh?

l know they say if you don't think too good don't
think too much but here goes anyway. It looks
like Dan was bracket racing on a 10.70 index,
the other guy a 10.79 both cars are close in
trap speeds. (Dan said earlier that his car was
running 122) Dan lost that round even though
he crossed the line first because he broke out.
I think Dan saw that he was at least 2 car lengths
ahead & was worried about a break out. (a length
is about a tenth at that speed) So I'm thinking
Dan was lifting on the big end that round.
Also remember the AWD automatic curveball thing.

There was no lifting on this pass. I ran the car in bracket on Sunday. It's best passes were a 10.71 and 10.73 before this. So I went with a 10.70 dial.

Once my foot was to the floor, it never came off.

don't know about Dan, but I have it penciled in. We are racing Friday night (7/7) at D42 with RRA. If that works out ok, we are probably head up to Norwalk on Saturday for True Street.

My plans for the moment are, Keystone test & tune Thur. for some seat time. early morning rise to Norwalk and run no-box Fri. night and play it by ear from there. Looking forward to seeing my old Y block racing buddies.
