Byron 10/16

A lot of people in the southern WI area, including myself, are going to Byron Dragway tomorrow. The forecast is sunny and 72* [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I am hoping to get into the 12's! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Byron 10/16

I went to Byron Dragway today to surprise Kurt. When I arrived he was under the hood, changing jets on his carb. I approached the car and his buddies without Kurt seeing me....and I asked "Is this a real Post Sedan?" Kurt replied, "Um, Yes?"

You should have seen the look on his face when he turned around and saw me standing there [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Kurt Congrats on your Best ET of 12.91 @ 108mph [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Byron 10/16

Dan, thanks for stopping by and taking pictures. It was a welcome surprise!

I had a GREAT time. I was a little frustrated because my 3rd pass was a 12.8ish but something (leaf)triggered the last light so I didn't get the ET or the MPH. I had to do some math against my other time slips.

Either way.....next year I am going to play with some ET Streets in the back.

Thanks Bruce.

My first run was [email protected], 2nd [email protected], 12.8? then the [email protected].

Every time I made air pressure adjustment. The 3rd run I changed secondary spring and went up 2 sizes on the front jets. The last run I took the air cleaner off.

Re: Byron 10/16

Kurt,

Keep a log book of all of your ET`s, with changes to tire pressure, jetting, the weather, (humity) etc.

Re: Byron 10/16

Good to see it running like you expect. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] Did the car launch better with the jet extensions?
Wish I could have made it there, but housework called.

Re: Byron 10/16

Thanks for the props guys. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

12.5's would be great and not too far away but I don't think Dan V. wants me to go to the track anymore this year. He wants me to keep it in one piece so I don't miss the MCACN show! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Rick, I didn't have time to get any jet ext. The bog is non existant with the other changes I made. For example the rear shocks. They let me launch it harder without wheelhop.
