New Best last night

[CrazyDavey]

Went to San Diego (Barona) last night for some 1/8th mile testing. Was trying out some new front suspension mods. My last run was all new best times for the 1/8th in the old Velle. Humidity was 80% and the DA was 3205, four runs all within .05 of each other

 

ET 6.64

MPH 104.09

60' 1.48 (had 2 of 'em)

 

woo hoo

Awesome pic, saved it in my pics. Can't say anything good about the humidity but you still had some sweet times . Like Mike said, nice 60 foot times. - Dave

Man Davey ya got the Velle hook'in and book'in. Great job. I can only imagine that car running in mine shaft air!

Looks like a perfect launch, both tires evenly off the ground.

That suspension and chassis look very dialed in. I agree with Bill, both tires are pretty even and that thing is hooking with a 1.48 60'.

[Chevyss]

That is some great times Davey. Nice picture.

[CrazyDavey]

thanks guys, the car felt really, really good. All the suspension changes seem like they have all just come together now. I knew on the first pass things were different. Yes Bill, I think I've finally gotten everything all squared up.

 

I don't have a vid of that run but here is the one before....

Congrats Dave!! Cool Vid. Just like being there.

[kc8oye]

that's an odd looking monte...

[Mike 57]

It is a 67 monte Tim. Special order! I think it looks good but they had an issue with the wheels coming off the ground.

[CrazyDavey]

especailly when all you can see is the back....

[Jared Richey]

Nice ET Dave! Keeps gettin faster and faster. I hadn't been to the track in almost 9 months now!

[CrazyDavey]

well like I said on Facebook...stop messin' around and get back to the track!!!

[Monte7071]

Man that picture is awesome. I love reading your post about racing.

[Monteman1971]

Congrat's Davey.....the madness is paying off!!!

 

So are you going to let us in on your suspension secrets?

 

I saved the picture too...great shot!!!!

[CrazyDavey]

no secrets Steve....just ask away....

[Heckeng]

Dave, that is awesome, and that picture is great and shows just how perfectly you have that suspension set on launch! There may be 1" difference between right and left front tires, that is AWESOME! Congrats!

[CrazyDavey]

thanks Scott, you got me into the suspension thing so I think that has paid off.....Dave

[Andy's Auto]

How's that head rush feeling?

[CrazyDavey]

pretty good.....

[Monteman1971]

So what is the biggest thing you did that gave you the most?

So what is the biggest thing you did that gave you the most?

 

Boy that's a tough question Steve, so many things are related or depend on something else working. You can add power but if you don't have the suspension it's useless. If you don't pay attention to the vitals (like the rest of the drivetrain, ignition, cooling, fuel system etc.) then things go wrong or can't work.

 

I guess right now the 2 biggest things for power would be the Prosystems carb (which is somewhat dependent on what you had) and the latest heads/cam swap. Between those two I would say the heads/cam really unleashed the motor big time. So far in bad air it's picked up a half second and 6 mph on average and I think it will be more when the fall air gets here.... Davey

I love when Davey writes about his racing. Blood just gets to pumping. Can't wait for the bence racing at the WM. It's going to be a riot. I'm looking forward to watching Davey race at The DallesPort race way.
