Folks, We are doing our second testing session on the 24th and 25th at Houston Raceway Park. We are going to be focussing on our servicing routines and running to the 1/8th mile to get ready to go racing in the Midwest Pro Mod Series next year.
We have made several improvements to the car to make it run better, be easier to drive, and easier to service.
Some of the things we did are:
- Removed the simulated dash in the car to make more room for me to get in and out of the car more easily. The Racepak dash is now mounted directly to the frame. Much safer now!!!
- Changed the stator in the torque converter to let the engine RPM rise a little more while it is on the transbrake. The car was trying to roll through he staging lights last test session because the torque converter was tight.
- Added a line lock roll control solenoid on the front brakes to help hold the car while it is on the transbrake.
We will be on our own this time but Mikey said he would be available by phone if we need help! It is so nice to have his support!
If any of you are in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by the track. It will be another night session again this time.
We are excited to push the car and driver a little harder this time.
