The Cal-look Lounge

I finally got the car working as its supposed to,on the 2nd pass[we only got 3 due to oil and water downs ::)] it ran straight and true,with only a contolled wheelie in first and second,the clutch hooked like its supposed to,maybe a little to hard still but better than the slipping we have had trouble with since shipping it to USA,it ran 9,73@139mph with 1.42 60 foot and 6.18@ 112mph at the 1/8 which is only 6 hundreths of my best and with the track and air temp causing the adjusted altitude to go way up high it was like being on top of a mountain :o
its still down on power a little as its running rich but safe,next is Sacremento but maybe some more testing at irwindale first,heres the video,no sissy sticks needed now :D

Hauling Richie

Well done, Sir! And thanks for the rockers, with those maybe the GTV will be giving you a run for your money at #35!! :D ;)

Good racing - Enjoyed your 1/4 mile show 8)

Good one Richie!!

That must be quite a ride :o

~DR.

I saw it in person and was impressed. Like you I think there is more in it and at sac on Saturday night it should fly!

congratulations. have fun there.

damn i miss that car allready.

well done mate i took the win over here only cos u were out there :D we had the shopper in  :Pand no 2 nd gear it ran 11.25 @126mph 99 mph @1/8 cant wait to get 2nd gear back

Thats really impressive Dave,with the little engine and such a short amount of time to get it ready,maybe you need to get a better gearbox builder though,leaving 2 nd gear out to save weight is more little pete than Big pete :D


cheers richie

it's cool :) congratulation richie

Well, I found out why the car kept crapping out under a load- nothing major, just a rolley poley in the jet stack.... seriously.  :o

 :) absolutely awesome

well done

Look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a nacho...  :o

Excuses, Excuses !!
I told you the Wheels had lifted too and you were like nah, Really ?!?! it was a great run for both you and Richie, although i seem to think Richies looked more like a 10. 2 ? ;)

Well done guys ! :)

Adele

Yeah, the nacho would have tasted worse  ;D

And I think Richie's pass looked more like a 10.88... ;)
Told you our tracks weren't shorter.

Steve what was your best time.

steve....u just backed off so the wheels wouldnt come up any further ;D

Good Job Richie, I didn't catch your run but did here Dyno Don cheering you on.
