I think the timer difference would be the difference from the normal 60' time and the false one, if it is known to be a good launch. (not spinning)
.160 seconds difference in this case. Take that from the reaction time, could be the real RT. Was he that late? (.160 or so) You probably left just right after he did, if so. Take that .160 and add it to each of the wrong times, to get what it probably was. Also did he cross before you? (about 3 feet) With all of these errors, surprised they didn't have someone check things out. :confused: |

Well done. Thanks for doing this. We were there for 3 days and I bet I only saw half of the cars featured. Lots of beautiful Pontiac iron at this event.

John- no Bonneville plans. Probably just east coast pavement LSR- Arkansas mile or Maine 1.5 mile.
Mike- Yeah, I want to test that it runs okay at 9,000+. I still had to use part throttle until car speed exceeded clutch lock-up, a little over 5,000 RPM, at which point it ran clean at full throttle. I wish I had looked at the boost gauge, but I got a little concerned about the rough pavement and no rear suspension! Yes, priming and starting is back to normal. But I'm still "searching" for a fuel setting for engine warm-up that doesn't guzzle huge amounts of methanol. I'm getting closer- only about 2 gallons total for Sunday's warm-up and run. |
Awesome Jack! I'd love to head to Arkansas with you next year and help out. I'm sorta on your way.

Thanks for the video George. Been wanting to go to this for years. Suckie divorce kept me grounded again. maybe next year.

No recent video. The frame I posted above is from a facebook video which is still online (search for "South Butler Nostalgia Dragway"). It's of my first-ever run, with way-too-tall gearing.
