Saturday Night is alright for Racing
71 demon....has not raced the car since middle of april...anyway...got E-85 in the tank..carb is set up just like Dart...everything sounds good...
1st pass....alot of air under front tire...car get squirrelly...grab second gear...in n out of throttle..runs 11.10 @ 118.xx...
2nd pass....come out of wheel stand...car is heading toward wall...out of gas...2nd gear in n out of gas as the car was still heading for wall....sure got the heart pumping... ran a 17 second pass...lol
1st round...i decide to foot brake it ..dial 11.08..redlight and run a 11.12...118.xx ..but car ran straight...car is 1 tenth slow to the 6 ft without brake.
after talking with a friend...i think we both agree the 2.74 1st gear has to go...E85 makes more torque..and Demon is too light for the gear set...so the spare trans that is just getting done will now be the race trans for demon...got two months to put it in...next race August 24...
plus got a choice of a new better (?) converter for use with that trans...
we haul two cars home last night a 1:30 am.... I unload Dart at my house this morning and go back to pick up Duster this morning as we could leave cars over night....another hot day in Vegas...113
