MadMike's 'Casper' 76 bug

[Chip Birks]

Sounds like you are going to have a fun weekend! How heavy is the car?

[madmike]

Hope so. It's 1800lbs. with me

[madmike]

I haven't driven on the pavement ,,yet bet it lifts in all 4 gears

[Chip Birks]

I hope your event goes better that mine! I've got a bug with one transmission setting right now, and thats first gear. Fingers crossed it was just a hockey stick...

[madmike]

Bummer Chip, what happened? I'm Racin @ noon today,,,,,

[madmike]

Great day racin
lost twice
spankin a 426 Hemi cuda
71 awd turbo eclipse
and a few V8 Camaro's too even took My 'Crew Chief' Matt for a pass.. he's extra 150 lbs was enough to lose to a nice camaro ,,I looked over at the driver and he was clapping his hand's ' goin across the finish line ,, that kid was so happy to beat me,, I'm still laughing
and Chip,, Nothing broke ....

more pic's ,I didn't run the wheelie bars no need with only 1.8 was my best 60 ft.
note: Guy's this is run on an 'Airport' landing strip , they did try some sort of 'traction stuff ' so it helped a bit,
I did 'Lift' a few inches especially with Matt in the bug

"U Bet'cha"
In that first pic, look to the Right of me
that's a "Tesla' he ask me to race him a few time's for $10.00
I told him 'Maybe later when your Battery runs down"
someone told me 'He's running 7's His battery never did run down ,,,,FYI: my best on a concrete track ( as seen by the 60' times )was an 8.044 @91.4 mph,, Old racer told me to 'Save this slip " our reaction time were exactly the same

[Chip Birks]

Glad to hear the day went well! Pretty sure my damage is limited to the shift fork...i hope.

[madmike]

Your not running the 3/4 brass one are u?

[Chip Birks]

Sorry, meant hockey stick.

What rpm were you launching at? I had 2 step switch adjustment issues this weekend, and had 60ft times that were similar to those. Launching at 7500 causes pretty good spin i found. I typically launch at about 5500 with boost. Mine only gives me 1.6s traditionally, even on a prepped surface. Mine will give similar 60s at 6500 with no boost. Kinda fun trying to tune this stuff.
