Livin' the Dream Racing

So I think I may have some issues resolved. My combo didn't like the 3.90 gear that was in the car so I swapped in the old 4.10 gear from the other car to see how it did. It was better, but track just didn't take the power. I have a brand new ring and pinion, and just ordered the parts to build a new chunk for the car with a 4.11 ratio gear. I'm thinking of getting a 4.29 as well, to see how it works. My engine can handle and likes the rpm, so maybe that's the direction we need to go. May have the data logging issue solved, need to test a couple of things to confirm. If what I suspect works, we're good, if not, I'm going back to the old setup which I know works. Gotta love new car blues, even with the same engine and trans, you end up with tuning and other bugs. Oh well, that's racing!

More to come!

Chassis cert day! Car already has a current cert, but the sticker is hard to read so I figured it's not a big deal to get a new one. Fresh three years and good to go!

Another weekend done and still no passes down the track! Weather yesterday was cold and windy, and not much grip on the track. We were gonna try to make some runs anyway, but the car had other plans. Three fuel leaks, no cam or crank signal at first, and not able to find the parts to fix the leaks ended the day. My daughter was able to make a few runs but also had a few issues with the car. More stuff to figure out! But rest assured, we'll get it done!

I do want to put a shout out to Full Spectrum Power batteries! I made the switch and what a difference! 33lbs lighter than my old agm, 500 more cranking amps, and over 100 rpm more cranking speed! My engine was spinning like it was running! Sure helps with a belt driven pump and front mounted tank! Anyway, new vid on the YouTube channel, more to come!
