5412, another try tomorrow Posted by VX100, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
There isn't much of a season left for me, so tomorrow I'll be at NED trying again. I still don't have the megasquirt tuned; it just seems beyond me at the time, but the car runs fine, it will be a nice cool day, so I'm going to see what I can do. I'll keep everyone posted if anything interesting happens.

Yeah, seasons almost over. Saturday is probably my last for the season (E-town). Does NED still do test and tune or is this the last night? Good luck with the runs and hopefully the cold air may give you a little more pop (though not turbo-guy pop :P .).
Happy launching,
MB

Here's hoping for an early Christmas present for the original all motor 2GNTer. :thumbsup
(Good luck to you too Mark.)

5418, pretty good night yesterday - new best MPH and 60' Posted by VX100, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
There will be racing at NED up until the end of this month, then it is a long wait until April.
Last night I did not get many runs, but didn't need many. First run was a major bog on the launch, and a 2.31 60' with a 15.6 sec run, but at 91.63mph, new best again.
I knew I just did not give it enough gas, so the next round I had to try something different. So I ended up giving it a lot more throttle and I eased out the clutch more; so more gas and a little slip of the clutch. The car made no tire noise off the line and I hit a 2.222 60' and a 15.4 sec run.
The next two runs were identical, but on the last run I hit a 15.4 sec run again, with a best 60' time of 2.213 (in 40-45 degree weather!) and a 91.64 mph, so that one run had the best mph and best 60' on these tires so far.
I just had to learn how to launch on these tires, and the last three runs were 45 deg F or less and I hit my best 60' times!
This is showing once I got the launch down, the only thing left is tuning and this this will run much faster.

Very nice, Todd! Can't wait to see what you can do before season end.
