Left Carson City at 5 am on Saturday morning, had a non eventual tow over the mountains on US 50 to Sacramento Raceway. Decided to take in the bracket race on Saturday and Mopar Magic on Sunday.
Friday I adjusted the valves since they had not been touched since April, and rejetted the carb back to stock jetting.
I was hoping the 360 Demon would run in the 10.80s in Sacto. The first pass was pretty good...got to the time booth...took care of the 80s...ran a 10.731 @ 120.66. Next pass ran a 10.72 @ 120.48....was thinking that the mph was down a couple of mphs...
60 ft 1.468
1/8 6.745 @ 101.30
anyway due to oil downs..and printer not working we were limited to 2 runs...not much chance for tuning on the car....
1st round on ladder in super pro...I drawn one of the all time NorCal hitter in a Austin Healey (Ted_Seipel) with numerous nhra national and divisional wins....I was thinking I drove too dam far to go out in the first round...Ted dialed in a 11.48...I dialed a 10.72.
with a .006 light and a 10.73 run ...Ted breaks out taking the stripe....
Round 2..with the air now warming up and no info on what the car will do at Sacto...I stay with the same dial in.....drawn a super comp dragster my .016 light and 10.77 on the 10.72 dial is history....
Sunday...Sunday....LOL
Have to remove delay box to run Pro....having cut wires and rewire transbrake and two step...does not go as easy as I thought...one bad solider less crimp...and i wasted two passed down the track ...brake not work on one..and two step not work on next pass...find the bad connector....one i just did that morning...GEE...what was the last thing i worked on........still ran a 10.96 and 10.84 at 119+...
We had upped the jets before those passes and it slowed down...decided to go the other way and lean car out a tab from stock jetting....next run with everything working including driver....10.73 @ 119....still no increase in mph...what the hell it is a bracket race...needed to come out to a TnT to get some info but...
1st round in Pro...bad light kind of sealed the deal....but I will be back in Carson City in time to go to work as we are out of there by 2:30 pm.....
Love the tow back up US 50...old 94 Dodge just rumbles...a/c blowing cold and music playing..
Had a good time...now need to figure out the mph thing...but car is going back to Vegas in two weeks..and me in 3 weeks..
