No-Prep Racing in Spokane tonight
Racing was good while it lasted. Track had some spills and cleanup took forever. We were in the first race down the track and unfortunately the timing system did not pick it up. Second and only other run was good for what it was. Car launched straight and accelerated smoothly. No tire slip that we could pick up. (my son drove the car). Small burnout just to heat up the tires a bit as the temps dropped to about 70 in shade. He launched at about 2000 rpms and just let the transmission do all the shifting. It was our fastest run ever, on a non-prepped track. The timeslip is hard to read.

60 ft 1.895
330 ft 5.122
1/8 mile 7.868
1/4 mile 12.218 at 113.85 mph
Car ran well, stayed cool and steering was smooth all the way. 16:1 steering (new box).
I have the runs datalogged from the Super Sniper and I will look at them later. I am not an expert at EFI tuning but I will look for anything odd, drop in fuel pressure, A/F ratio , timing erratic.
1973 Scamp No-Prep race Here is a video of the race. Any comments on anything will be helpful.
I forgot to mention the torsion bars are 1.03 PST so not ideal for launch. The car is designed to be a hot rod, not a pure racer as we only have 5-6 races a year around here.
