Took this out to the AFF Drag nats friday and saturday. Friday night got a few runs in.
Track was fair slippery Lit up it off the line and through every gear for an 11.1 @ 138mph.
2nd run looked quick but the ####ing timing lights broke again (had issues all night with them).
We had some issue with car not getting up to temp and the rev limiter scaled off the temp. Kris was hitting the limiter in top of 3rd and wheelspining top of 1st and 2nd.
Any way we bump the rev limit up to 7000 all across the board. then went for a 3rd pass which he managed a 10.3 @ 144mph which was an awesome run still a fair bit of wheelspin in the 60 foot but it really hooked up and got going.
Next run called for more of the same but in the right lane. It spun up through 1st and into 2nd grabbed and then snapped an axle almost put him into the wall. coasted through for a 19.4 @ 44mph
.
Anyway that was our weekend over for this car, we could have fixed it but kris felt it could have happened again and was happy to get drunk instead.
We didn't have so much luck with the black car either it kept throwing belts. So we went into bendigo in morning bought a new shorter belt and it ate that one. Turns out one of the idler pulley the plastic wall was broken and the belt would just walk off. Problem was it didnt look broken until it ate the shorter belt that we just spent $60 buying.
So we stole a pulley of kris' car chuck it on and threw the old belt on and it stayed on. got 2 runs in before we broke something else. Sounds really bad like a bad knock or rattle but we dont think it's internal main suspect is the flexplate torque convertor area. Magaed a best of 120mph we some terrible 60 foot.
