[moparjim]

congrats Jim
impressive!!
10.17 full weight , stock pulleys on pump gas.

Thanks Bob.
Aside from added fuel and raised shift points the car is exactly like when you came down in Oct. Even the weather was pretty close to the same. While good, not great for this late in the year.

Well folks I thought that was it for the year.
I just found out the track is open on Saturday.😎🥶

 

[Hpindy]

Get up and go smoke that canadian bacon! What temps are expected? Humidity?

It looks like maybe it will get up to 40f or so.
That means below freezing when I load up and head down. It may not be great when I get there but I will see how we end up.
I have had some pretty amazing results in winter weather. LOL
As for the humidity it starts out high then drops off during the day. If I'm lucky it will be dry with some sun. There is a warm front coming through bringing rain. Once that goes by then I will have a better idea hopefully on Friday.

I'm trying to find something to deal with the gasoline issue. I may have a place to get Sunoco race gas. I will find out tomorrow.

They have a VP pump at our track. Sounds like our 2 tracks need together and take both of the positives from each and we can both have super tracks.

I can order VP and get it from the track. I just don't care to spend $240 for 5 gal every weekend. A shop next to the track can get Fuse race gas but because of Covid they didn't produce any apparently. Even octane boosters from VP, Boostane, or RaceGas are hard to find in my area.
I just found out about a place that is about 3/4 of the way to the track that sells Sunoco race gas so I will look into that today.
I may have to do like you and go to ethanol at some point, but I'm not there yet.

You have the injectors ...... Just need the fuel pumps . Once you do that your car will be a unicorn farting rainbows ridden by an angel !

I paid $350 usd for my drum of e85. Still not cheap for the drum. E85 at the pump this time of year is bad as well. But still much cheaper than unleaded race fuel and slightly cheaper than leaded. I think my drum is 112 or 115 octane I don't remember.

Unlike HPindy race gas , octane booster or E85 is a royal pain to get and find here. Even when I do find it, it is quite a bit more expensive than out his way.
Unfortunately it is an issue in this province made worse by where I live in it.
If the place I check out today is a good source that will help. Unfortunately I can't afford to use the good stuff all the time.
I refuse to cut back and go once a month. I'm ok with being slower and going just about every week.

Congratulations on your quest to improve your 60 foot and 1/4 mile times!

It's obvious I will have to let you drive my car to get the best times.

After reading , this 10 pages of info, my question is what happened to your first motor?

Any way related to recall work completed?

Good luck improving your 60 foot and 1/4 mile times.

I use summer blend pump 94 all the time at the track with good results ( I don't recommend it for the faint of heart) . I'm testing different fuels because I can !
