This was our first outing for 2019 testing the new 372 SBC<\/a> in our ’57. It was a beautiful Spring Day with excellent track prep from the crew at PR.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Off the trailer the car ran a new best of 10.258 @ 130.43 MPH leaving at 5800 RPM. After looking at the clutch data we lowered the launch to 5700 RPM and lowered the wheelie bars 1-turn. The car responded with a 10.255 @ 130.10 MPH going thru the lights at 8150 RPM. We were pleased with these results with a mild tuneup on the new bullet, and the new front Wilwood<\/em> disc brakes worked GREAT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 3rd hit was aborted when I missed 2nd gear as the car carried the nose a LONG way out as the track got tighter. Here’s the video Pam captured below from our initial outing. My many thanks to Chris, Paul & Pam for all their hard work and support getting the old buggy ready for 2019! And my personal thanks to DG Machine<\/em><\/a> for all their excellent work on the new bullet! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
