soooo whens the next rip???? im ready!
Looking at next Thursday "Slick Night" ... you down?
YES!!!!!! ill shoot up there right after work...
It's a plan, maybe Tommy can go too!
jt did you do anything about potential wobble of the shift fork or check perpendicularness to the slider ring or are you just trying different materials at this point?
Brian
I'd like to bush the fork but 1-nto sure if thinner is a good thing and 2 dont have time... Was thinking about a set screw to at least prop it to one side or the other, but... decided I'll just put it back in for an A-B of the brass ones. It had shifted 2nd well all year until that last trip out, and the 2nd gear that came out should have never gone back in, LOL
well dont trash the new 2nd gear if its not shifting well. :)
LOL... sure as hell try not too. i dont wanna be the "1st in the 10s while missing 2nd gear" :o
Went to Grove Slick night for a coupel shake down runs...
Run #1 - Right off the trailer, spun hard out of the hole, short shifted 2nd from bog to tire spin, drifting in, hit third, brought it back, stuck 4th... all granny style, but they went in! :)

Overall not a bad trip out... need to figure out traction and launch control
glad to see you made it back out to the track. nice first run and mph :thumb:
talk to James and Jon about launch control it should help you out.
Thanks Rob!
Yeah, I did talk to Jon a bit at last yers Nats on his clutch switch setup... just havn't done it yet :o
I think you have the MPH for a 9.9...
yeah traction was an issue fersher!!! i meen c'mon when the VFN race car fast and furiously does a wheel stand then smokes the tires, u know there something wrong!!!.....id like to see that vid.....feel free to post her up....
You are MPH'ing the crap out of that car! :)
Glad to "see" it back in action!
Dang that's awesome JT, major props dude :clap:
Congrats!
Smoking mph JT. :thumb: This isn't the clutch switch I used but it would work the same. I can't seem to find the limit switch and chain style like I have online. If I remember I will snap a pic tonight for your.
