Had a great night, last night... 6 rounds to the final...
and my best 60ft, in this car, ever... car was on, i was pretty good, too... had some .030's, an .025, an .018(the run before the final)...here is the ET slip...
final round...had an awesome time!

CONGRATS !!!!

That is getting it done.

Now if you would have lifted a little at the finish line.

Way to go !! Saw your posts on Facebook.
Congrats,
Jim

BTW, the margin of victory is the .0241.

Not sure what the 'MOV' of .0031 is on the ticket?

He was ahead a little more than 4' ?



Good job anyway!

[Probird]

Good job Brent. I think the MOV of .003 is the difference between the two breakouts. Brent broke out by .021 and the other guy broke out by .018.

[johnta1]

That's probably true, Rick

yea, my dang foot was glued to the floor...it was dark, im blind, and hoping to break him out... and i did! hehe... I didnt think my car would go an .84... ran .87-.88s, most of eve... and then rounds got closer together, and i got switched to other lane...which was .01 slower in practice... i thought i was ok... coulda, woulda , shoulda...hehe

Heck, at least you made it to the finals!



It takes some races/passes to get the 'hang' of letting the other guy take the stripe.

Ask Probird, he can tell you.
(probably won't teach you how though, unless you won't ever run him )

My problem, is , i dont race that much, and Muncie is very hard to locate finish line, in the dark... for me, anyways... I wish they would put up flags, like Cordova, or some really white lines, at the stripe, and mph line.... Its tough , gettin old...hehe

[Brent Flynn]

here is the 6th round(final round) loss...but with 1.444 60ft!! He had me by 1/2 a fender, or less, but i brokeout .003 more than he did...doh! Thought i was ok... hehe

[Brent Flynn]

here it is, early in the day...1.460 60ft...

You've got that car leavin' good! I'm about a tenth slower in 60' than you with the same 1/8 MPH. That tells me I have some work to do! Maybe I need to build a Q-jet for it!

Its the small intake runners, and small carb, with about 12:1 compression, that make it leave... I'm even running TRW's, with street rings(high tension), and regular hone... Heads(home ported) only flow 233(intake)...running a home port Holley SD intake, as well... 750 cfm ('68 top, '71 buick center) carb. Comp soli 275/276 flat tappet.
I have 8'' ATI , 4.10s and 9x30s... It seems to work pretty well... all these times are on footbrake... i dont have a trans brake...dont know if i will ever go that route. I like stock, and 1/4 mile racing... Hard to find a 1/4 mile , non trans brake class, unless you go NHRA,IHRA, NMCA...
