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>>/ [/img]        Dan

      Kurt, if you were to put on a pair of slicks, we`d see some light under them front wheels.   It was such a good run, it made the shoe polish run  Dan

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. Kurt

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. Dan
