\"On<\/a>

On March 26th, Jim Doyle caught us as we were preparing for our first hits at the TNT at Pacific Raceways. And all this before we had our coffee! \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

This was our first day out at Pacific Raceways<\/em> for a Test & Tune on March 26th 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the rebuilt Aldan<\/em> rear shocks, the Chevelle was hooking hard today! After the first run we lowered the wheelie bars, snubbed the front travel and tightened the new Strange<\/em> front shocks but the car continued to reach for the sky throughout the day. Even shortening the header tubes 4″ didn’t stop the Beast from putting on a show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chevelle ran three consecutive runs of 10.569, 10.550 & 10.571 with respective 60-foot times of 1.422, 1.410 & 1.415 on a green track. The crew at Pacific Raceways<\/em> always does a good job! We also didn’t see any real change between our old Motown<\/em> intake and the new Edelbrock Super Victor<\/em>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Paul’s first hit, the Mustang had a bad miss and we found a cracked plug insulator. After the repair the car ran a 11.92 and the rear suspension was working well running consistent 60-foot times. And Paul reports a BIG improvement with the brakes compared to last season.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We tried the old 830 cfm carb on Torri’s Pontiac but it had a slight hesitation on the launch so we put the old 750 back on and Torri was again running 12-teens in her hotrod! Overall a good day for the team. Below we have video taken by Pam on Saturday. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
