The Shop Truck

Here is yesterday's video.

Here's some random pictures I haven't posted yet.
pics from "the wet spot" check point.

Proof we were at Lapeer.

Sick Town Hall

Cook's Farm Dairy checkpoint. It was wild watching all the Amish kids watching us do burnouts when we left.

It's currently raining, so hopefully that's going to be done by morning and we can go racing again.

Well, I'm just going to take this as a good sign. The rainbow ends right at the starting line.

 

[r3dd0g]

I'm impressed, the rain just stopped and they're already out there drying the track so it's ready for tomorrow.

SICK MICHIGAN MILES — DAY 4 TEASER! Day 4 was another full day of racing, cruising, and making memories! We kicked things off racing at Ubly Dragway. Then hit the road for Bonner's Christmas...

Amber showed me that one, I saw him take it, but I thought he was looking all the way down the line.
The high for tomorrow is 69, the shop truck is going to go fast.

Dont blow the tires off

There's way better prep here, so I should be good. I'm more worried about too much wheelie.

I’m glad you got some cooler weather while you’re here.
Man that thing leaves hard!
Good luck last day!

soooo good

 

[r3dd0g]

We're up, we got to sleep in a bit since we're at the track. We're going to check plugs, swap jets, swap tires, and load the tune .

Kick some ass, Sea Bass.

 

[r3dd0g]

I'm in the lanes for my first attempt.

 

[r3dd0g]

It actually slowed down a bit, but went down.

We're done! Looking at the logs, we hurt second gear. Too many burnouts. At least it will still drive into the trailer.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Well at least it happened on the last day what a bummer. Didn’t you put like a level 4 gear star in it?

 

[r3dd0g]

It did the same thing at ubly, we just didn't catch it. I'm not faulting gearstar on this. It was my tuning and driving that hurt it.

Did it by chance kick the limiter for a second when it slipped?

Mine was kicking the limiter last year shortly after shifting, some times just before, when I was hard in it. But I always thought it was a programming thing in the holley.
This year with the new correctly BUILT transmission that's not slipping, it doesn't do it anymore.

I believe it's an unmentioned holley failsafe or something
