Preface:
Prior to going out to this race, we discussed changes to the chassis setup in the rear of the car that would prevent the carburetor fuel slosh problem we experienced at the last race when coming back to earth from high wheelies on the launch. I’m glad to report these changes worked and the car is now running very consistent and is much tamer leaving the starting line. Paul recaps the day from here. – Roger
Hello Race Fans!
It was a beautiful day at Pacific Raceways, perfect for a day/night double header. Chris took his Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’71 Chevelle Wagon out to run Pro Bracket for this race.
He was able to wheel it to the 2nd round in Race #1 before falling to the dreaded red light and unfortunately we missed the dial a bit too which we have been fighting thus far this year in eliminations.
We made some adjustments with softening the rear shocks and went up 1# in rear tire pressure for second race and the results were favorable.
2nd Race Qualifying Run Timeslip
Chris won 1st round and had a near perfect light with .001 so that parlayed into a bye for 2nd round. He ran 10.281 on 10.28 dial on the bye run so we were pretty happy about that. He went red in the 3rd round race but overall it was a solid day of racing as he drove well and feel like we are getting a handle on the car with being more consistent throughout the day.
See you all soon and be safe! – Paul
