what 60 foot times

<< < (3/3)

adree sub 1 60's not common at these power levels. Also not really a goal. I do like using 60's for tuning leave rpm,determining  tire consistency and if going away. With lots of smaller tracks it helps figure track out.

 Also agree program is missing few things.No over hang info for one.Since it was mentioned earlier.It is more for a play toy and comparison like what would 40 ho be worth , how much rpm would inch taller or shorter tire change.

Have had guys say 60' don't mean crap the tracks 1320 long.If you pick up .02 in 60 you are still .02 quicler in 60 of that 1320 and unless doing so cause problem for 1260 you will be quicker over all.Most of these guys where .98 60' and ours was ,.92 or .94 at the time.Kind of like lane choice don't matter when you don't have it.

Sorry if I forgot, But what style of "Raceing" are you planing on doing- Out the back door or INDEX

I run INDEX style so 60ft does not meen that much to me except if my times were off, so I would check that to see if it was lost at the start and that would meen the the track was off. I usually get only 2 hits at the tree and each in the oppisite lane. I would rather be conservetive and consistant on my 60's(1.08/9's) and hook everytime, then to be aggressive and shake in a bad lane. Adjusting for 60's is a coarse adj. and big top end gains are the result, but somtimes one pays the price. Everthing I do at the start is the same everytime and the 60's repeat at all the tracks I race at and in all conditions and I use what is available to me in top end tuneing to make fine adjustments to bring me on the INDEX.

90% of racing will be brackets and maybe some nostaligia shows later. Injected right now but having run blower motors its never out of question. Got to see which class's I can run at nostalgia races with least amount of changes.Like I said Im not trying to kill 60's just seeing what others are running for comparison.Heck going out with 1.69 low and 4.11 gear and thinking about 3.90 gear later.

Personally looking for 60's to be mid 1.0's,do have 29.875" over hang .No since pushing rule to limt.

Heck right now a pass would be great.Getting closer and more anxious.With parts left to get me on track and making laps it will be first of year. Few very high priced unexpected things popped up past cpl months and set me back some.Think they call that life.If only bron rich instead of so dang good looking,don't believe me ask me.

Get your car done and worry about what other people do later

wideopen231:
Not worried about anything.Just gathering info. IMO you can never have too much info,unless you don't know whats worth keeping and whats not. Just Like M/T's.My first few hits probably going to be hoosiers,but like knowing what might work better in advance.


 Don't worry about car its getting work as quick as the cash comes in. When its slow its hard to do somethings.Matter fact just finished transmission for it.
