Sorry if you already mentioned before but what's your water temp when your staged? Are you driving the car to the lanes or towing?
And congratulations on the personal best. Sounds like there's a lot left in it! Last edited by goatracer; 08-31-2016 at 08:19 PM. |

Congratulations Mr Fulton and crew! It was very nice to see you again and meet your wife! Great people. Jake and I didn't get to see any runs but we heard them and looked up at the timing boards (busy working in the pits) Impressive! Keep up the good work.
Brian

It was great finally meeting you Dick. Your car is gorgeous! I can certainly attest to the cooling of CV-1's. I was on a 17 mile traffic jam last weekend called the Woodward dream cruise. Car was lit for 2 hours straight, never above 185. Mechanical water pump and mechanical 16" fan. Temps were low to mid 80's.

Worth noting also...Dicks performance at Norwalk was on his DOT's... Not the slicks he planned to run. He cut a slick at Norwalk when he got there. |

I am going to pass on that. While the atmosphere here at PY has changed lately, there are still places on the internet where people are still stuck in the past. I am waiting for a chit storm to happen at one of these places over this thread and I will not feed the trolls there. What I was really hoping to do was to be able to see Dick's car run in low DA at that down hill track. Stan

And yeah I'm sure I've generated some fodder someone will try to give a whole different meaning to. Doesn't bother me anymore. Let them continue to prove they're fools. They are doing a fine job of it. |

Congrats Mr Fulton.You sir have done a great job! Glad to hear your motor was not hurt....I couldn't wish that on anyone!
All this talk about east coast downhill tracks I'm glad Cecil County was brought up. Cecil County is a NHRA member track with a track alt of 341 ft. They have a NHRA division 1 race there and I'm sure it's within the NHRA allowable spec of degrees downhill that a racetrack can be...I'm sure the stock and super stock guys go there to set records! Below is the link of the recap of their D1 race http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCSt...er=30#indextop Cecil is no more of a downhill track than Tri State is in Earlville IOWA I can tell you that Earlville IS a downhill track built by stock/super stock guys and they will tell you it's right at the limit of allowable degrees downhill angle... Track alt is 1059 ft but I'm not sure if that's the starting line or finish line because it is a noticeable difference.....in September I have seen the Air at that track get down to 370ft DA....I love that track! It's layout is AWESOME and cars go fast there!..And it's only 241 miles south east of the Twin Cities...

Congrats Dick and the entire Fulton team. You guys work hard and your performance shows. You are advancing our sport and having a blast doing it.
Jason - Tri State is awesome. We need to meet there sometime. About halfway for both us us. Let me know the next time you are heading that way. It would be great to catch-up. |

... not off topic at all Brian, we've actually put the 572 back on my to do list since i finally got the 428 completed, but a few things have changed with the build now as i'm targeting alot more RPM, so my billet manifold is not a good fit anymore due to the runner length, but yes we're working on it ...

Congrats to Mr. Fulton and his team.
I've removed quite a few posts from this thread, mostly trolling posts and replies to those posts. Please don't take offense if you see that your posts have been removed, just attempting to keep things a bit more friendly in here. It's great to see Dick posting about his experiences while running his car at Norwalk, we hope to hear more as time goes on. |
