On Friday night, I took to the car to a 1/4th mile track. The first couple of runs were crappy, and the best that I got was a 14.1 @ 101mph with a 9.2 @ 80mph 1/8th mile at 2.293 60ft.

On Sunday, I went to a 1/8th mile track with better track prep.
The very first run, I did a 8.73 @ 79mph with a 1.96 60ft. The next couple of runs were about the same.....8.7.

A friend came out to the track, messed around with the rear suspension, lowered tire pressure, and I ran a couple of 8.5s @ 80mph with 1.88 60fts.

Lowered the tire pressure a little bit more, I launched higher, and busted off a 8.42 @ 80mph with a 1.83 60ft.

Not too bad for a little ol' 2.2 ohv pushrod motor :)

Right now I have the transmission out and dissambled. Once I put the trans back together and the programmable MSD DIS-2 running, I will take the car back out to the 1/4th to see what I can get out of it. Hopefully I can get slicks to hook up again and run more 1.8 maybe 1.7 60fts and run a consistant low 13s.
