it was fun, I've learned alot, more of where to go and how to race... no pro here...
I took it easy this time as I need everything to work for th next 1400mile road trip I'm going on... but that doesn't mean I scared myself in thinking I borke the car
the first pass my throttle linkage came undone, so I got a 33 sec pass @ 30mph lol (but reaction time was .0020
)
the second pass I got a seccessful run, 17.9460 sec @ 73+mph although my reaction time was .89sec's... and I didn't "floor" it as I didn't want my throttle linkage to come undone again
my thirdpass... well that's the one that scared me... I was up against gene this time. I took off I thought better but just out of the hole I heard this big BANG! and the car lunged forward then the engine lost power and I swear I heard something dragging on the ground as I coasted to a stop... I was thikning it's the drivshaft but looked good. so it must be the rear end... well I found out I can drive it and the clutch didn't die, so I took 82f100 for a road test and we heard nothing it seemed fine... I'm hoping it was a jsut wheel hop or spring wrap... but it doesn't explain the dragging sound when I coasted to a stop... I'm affraid only time will tell.
It seems like everyone else had a good time, there was a dodge slant six there running 14's.
Anyway's fun time, good experience, I'll head back out to the track after my road trip this summer and see If I can't finish brakeing what ever it was...
BTW I did make it all the way home 52+miles and no road problems or straing dragging noises. so I hope it's ready for this week's road trip.
