09-18-10- We did some testing last night, playing with the shift point and carburetor Jetting, and intended on running as a double-entry of Pro & Super Pro in Today’s race, the last bracket race of the season at Kennedale. But, the car said otherwise.

Put a new FTI Torque Convertor and Pro Systems Carburetor. Pass #1 was with only the convertor, passes 2 and 3 are with the entire package. However, we are still debugging the configuration.

09-05-10- Our 3 days at the track concluded with the Semi-Final round of the Kennedale All Out race. Videos:

09-04-10- We ran the bracket race today at Kennedale. The afternoon track conditions were absolutely miserable with a track temp of 125-133 degrees, the common complaint through our region of the pit area was spinning the tires off the line. We lucked our way though first round by being second in a double red-light, then underestimated the track conditions once it got dark. We were debating what to chose for a dial-in, we had ran 5.95 and 5.94 at night yesterday, but because of the greasy day-track, we weren’t sure how much to compensate. It turned out that the conditions had much improved, and we broke out of our 5.96 index by running 5.951, dumping at the first speed-trap cone. We still did good in our own right, for being our first bracket race.

09-03-10- Just made a few passes at Kennedale in preparation for a long weekend. Running te Bracket Race tomorrow, and the “All Out” race on Sunday.
