This evening\u00a0we headed out to Pacific Raceways<\/em> to get the chassis sorted out on the ’57 for the upcoming Nostalgia Race on July 13th & 14th.<\/strong> The goal was not<\/strong><\/span> for maximum performance but for a good combination that would work in the heat and give me some practice time behind the wheel. The Wednesday test & tune in the heat gave us the opportunity to put some hits on the car and make adjustments\u00a0which is difficult on a race day.<\/p>\n

We opened with a 10.845 @ 124 mph @ 81-degrees and a density altitude of 2114 feet. After this pass we loosened the rear shocks one click but that was a bit too loose and the car slowed to a 10.861 @ 123.45 mph @ 81.8 degrees and a density altitude of 2194 feet.<\/p>\n

We went back to our original shock setting and recorded a 10.823 @ 124.60 mph @ 73 degrees with a density altitude of 1633 feet but the water grains had risen to 57.12.<\/p>\n

We allowed the sun to go down, lowered the launch from 7500 to 7400 rpm\u00a0and in the best air conditions of the evening we recorded a 10.793 @ 124.68 mph @ 71.5 degrees with a density altitude of 1580 feet, water grains @ 64.55 and our best 60-foot time of the evening of 1.480 seconds.<\/p>\n

Looking at the data this morning compared to runs going back to 1999, we put up some good numbers in like atmospheric conditions. We’re happy with these results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My thanks to my crew chief, Chris Young,\u00a0Justin Jung & Paul Young\u00a0for making this testing possible and a success. I believe we are in good shape for the upcoming Wild West Nostalgia Race. Here’s a short YouTube<\/em> video:<\/p>\n
