MAPerformance Proving Grounds Weekend @ BIR June 22-24th

[Pushit2.0]

Thanks MAP for putting on a great event. We did make it about 9:30pm Friday. I have been working almost non stop for the last 2 weeks. We were on the dyno twice and I have had the tranny out 3 times and the rear end in/out.

So after trying everything to fix the shifting I found out Saturday that the clutch was dragging. I adjusted it but the last 2 years of slipping the clutch off the line has warped the metal plates in the twin disk.

But the car could shift into 2nd gear and with the QTPs we worked on 60' testing. We did get our goal first pass out with a 1.58 60'. Then a 1.52 60'.

I was not able to get into 3/4 at all so it was on power in 1/2 only. I will try 10-12psi on the 2 step and lower the tire pressure to 12-14psi. This should net a sub 1.5 short time and put the car in the high 8s at 41-42psi.

I am picking up new twin disk parts later this week and I will look at track schedules to see were I can go next.

A big thanks to all the sponsors and my friend's for the help this weekend.

Sucks to hear but at least you got to get some testing in.

Come out to Rock Falls on the 15th!

Rock Falls does not have the braking distance required for John's Galant, unless he had a chute on it.

You may be surprised. I had good luck stopping at Rockfalls, 152+MPH, felt just like BIR. I have nothing special for brakes, yet.
