Chevelle & Pontiac on June 24, 2018 at Pacific Raceways

Launch on June 23, 2018 – Gary McMillian Photography!

 

Chris & Torri took their cars out to the track after Chris installed a new MagnaFuel pump in the Pontiac after the Mallory pump failed the last time out.

Chris wanted to make more adjustments to the Chevelle after installing the new front suspension a few weeks back, hoping to lower the height of the wheelie on the launch and pick up some E.T. which we did! He lowered the wheelie bars 2-1/2 turns from his outing on June 16th.

Q1: 10.61 @ 124.86 MPH
Round 1: 10.67 on a 10.57 @ 119.73 MPH Pedaling but gave the stripe back to Gordon Rust in a TIGHT race ending Chris’ evening.

Torri’s ’66 Tempest ran well today with the new fuel pump recording the following:

Q1: 12.27 @ 107.60 MPH
Round 1: 12.263 @ 108.17 MPH

Torri left a bit early ending her evening but the Pontiac is alive and well!

My thanks to Justin Jung for giving them a hand this Saturday with the crew shortage. – Roger

    Thank you for posting pop’s. The front suspension and wheeliebars are making the car more adjustable and toning it down.
