Not Ranked
High ambitions.
HI Greg
Your crash at the nationals has always stuck in my mind, and is probably part of the reason why I am pursuing the cage.
Reguardless of specs and approvals, the main reason is to stay safe, probably not so much on the drag strip but with other events we enter.
I remember your cage and what we have worked out is very similar.
A high 10 pass is a goal, it will depend on how bad I want it. I know that this would be a big ask but thats part of the excitement to try and get there. The car will need to go on a weight loss programe, there is about 80kgs of sound system and I always run with a fulll tank of fuel.
The diff ratio is not perfect, I just change into 4th as I cross the line.
The car is tuned for the street and a change of cam would see it better suited to the drag strip.
The Andra people are very interesting to say the least, the instruction I gave them was that the car runs 11s however I want to do a 10.99. They did not have a concern about the cage being welded in. Perhaps if I wanted to run 10.99 every day it may be an issue.
Greg, what is your best ET, I know you are looking or are in the 9s.
Drag racing is lots of fun, and with WSID 20 mins away I am sure I will be there often.
