Chevelle at A-Street Automotive Double-Header – June 24th 2023

Chris took the Wagon out to Pacific Raceways to participate in Pro Bracket and Paul was there to help Chris during the long, but beautiful day.

The Chevelle ran strong during the event but the chassis settings were too aggressive for such a tight track. The car lifted the front end too high on the launch and when it returned to earth it caused fuel slosh in the carburetor which made the car inconsistent.

It was this fuel slosh condition that made it very difficult to dial the car and as a result, Chris lost in the 1st-round in both races. We are addressing the chassis settings and float levels to solve this issue.

One of his best runs of the day was a 10.158 @ 129.80 MPH with a 1.352 60-foot but then slowed to a 10.20 on the next hit with fuel slosh. We will get a handle on the problem! – Roger
