Every driving driving instructor I have ever sat next to has been known to paddle those who let the steering wheel spin through an open palm. I'm sure Mary Pozi can back Me up here. Some good shuffle steering will help keep you from getting behind on Your steering inputs and causing some of those under-steer moments.....just a friendly observation.

Yep and I drive one handed also.....a no no. :cheers:

I had to leave early from the event but off memory my times were:

1/4 mile 11.47 at 113 mph I missed 4th gear and coasted throught the lights. My car is not legal to run in to the 10s so I stop making passes. I'm sure on that pass I would have been in the 10s easy if I hadn't tried a WOT shift to 4th. My 1/8 mile MPH was 102 and my 60 foot was 1.82 sec. On Sat we ran a 11.5X sec. at 126 MPH on a 90 degree day spinning hard.

Speed Challange is a 1/8 distance from a lunch at the drag strip timing light to the 1/8 mile traps. My best time was a 8.0X sec. My best speed was 0 - 87 - 0 MPH.

My best Auto X time was a 1:03.8 and Finch ran a 1:03.0

There was a car show but I'm unsure how that factors in.

I have not seen the final results yet but Steve Rupp called and told me I won and Stacy Tucker has all my stuff.

69 camaros have more room. With a DSE sub they run 18x10's. With a 67 you have to run an 18x9. His sizes won't work for you.

wrighton 10-08-2010 04:39 PM

So I have not been on here in a while. The new forgelines are nice. Did you sell the other wheels?

Congrats on all the track numbers. Way to build a ride and run the crap out of it. Thats what it is all about.

Stielow 10-14-2010 06:55 PM

New tires and wheels for SEMA
 
I re-worked my Forgeline wheels to have a brushed outer and got some new Goodyear tires for Optima. These tires have 220 treadwear and are very grippy.

I'm getting the car ready for SEMA and Optima. The car is working great. I have one more track event to sort out the chassis tuning.

Looking forward to hanging out with all my buddies at SEMA. My car will be in the Optima booth at SEMA.

See you guys at the Lat-G party....:cheers:

awr68 10-14-2010 07:44 PM

Yes it does look great!
Might I ask why the new wheels? Are they lighter or did you just want street and track sets? Is that a 325 rear tire?

See ya in Vegas!! :cheers:

coolwelder62 10-14-2010 07:47 PM

I wanted some street and track wheels and I also needed a 19 inch rear wheel for the Goodyear tires. The rear is a 325/30R19.

Mark did you happen to weigh any of your wheel / tire assemblies?

akrapovic 10-16-2010 08:33 PM

What clutch/flywheel are you running Mark?

No I did not weigh any assemblies. But subjectively the Goodyears are a little heavier than the KDWs.

Because we used a Callies 6 bolt crank I needed a Lingenfelter steel flywheel to adapt from the LS7 style crank to a LS9 clutch.

I have driven a ZR1 so i know its manners are excellent, how has it held up to the extra hp?

No isses so far but I would not want to do 200 1/4 passes on it. I could smell a little cluch at the drag strip because I have to feather the launch and the 1-2 shift to keep from breaking the tires loose.

For what I use the car for it is perfect. Feels great no chatter light efforts. The Lingenfelter flywheel is the stock ZF flywheel for an LS9 except drilled for 6 bolt crank and lightened. Katech has an aluminum one but I went for the low inertia steel one.

akrapovic 10-17-2010 03:21 PM

Thanks for the info Mark.
