Well I made it to the track for the first time this is my car
1969 340 Dart bone stock 340 with 4500 miles on it. With a 4 speed, 3.91 gears, 24 inch Redline tires, and no tach so not sure Rpm for shift points.
First of all it was brutal to get off the line. Smoking the tires was no good so.... I pretty much had to leave at idle
I was leaving on the 3rd yellow.
Reaction 0.475, 0.506, 0.314
60ft 2.2157, 2.423, 2.2639
1/8 mph 76, 75.5, 76.35
1/4 et 14.7, 15.09, 14.78
I did have some issues it seemed with my clutch not coming up very quick... seemed to take a while for it to engage.. would this be part of the reason for the slow reaction and 60 ft times.
ALSO I did have some bogging
I would have liked to do better is this about as good as I can expect for my combo
I know slicks would improve my times
Any advice would be appreciated
