We had the Handan Trailer Repair<\/em> backed ’57 out to Pacific Raceways<\/em> yesterday for testing. With adjustments for the conditions, Chris had his best run of the evening on a HOT day recording a 10.679 @ 127.21 MPH in our 4th test session. All the years of data we’ve collected helped us make the proper adjustments for a hot track and high density altitude! This was our first day out with the ’57 in 2021 and the video below tells the full story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My thanks to Chris Young, Pam Young, Paul Young & Torri Young for all the help and we’re very proud of Chris getting the car down the track four runs without any shifting problems! And our thanks to the entire crew at Pacific Raceways<\/em> for all their hard work making a very hot track come around!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Update June 5, 2021<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today Chris and I put the car up on stands and checked or adjusted the following. The great news is the Long Shifter<\/em> is still in adjustment!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Lower wheelie bars \u00bd-turn<\/strong>
\n2) Add 1-flat of preload to left ladder bar.<\/strong>
\n3) Check transmission mounting bolts.<\/strong>
\n4) Check rear end center-section nuts and rear u-joint nuts.<\/strong>
\n4) Shorten clutch rod 1-turn to tighten air gap slightly.<\/strong>
\n5) Check Long<\/em> shifter adjustment.<\/strong>
\n6) Raise high-side chip 100 RPM.<\/strong>
\n7) Check valve lash, springs.<\/strong>
\n8) Firm up compression on Strange<\/em> front shocks 2-clicks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, July 10th, Chris came over and touched up the chipped paint on our rollcage sidebars while I firmed up the compression side of our Strange<\/em> double-adjustable front shocks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ’57 is again ready for the strip! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
