Thanks Ken Perry

Thanks Ken and his crew for showing us that a blown can still run in the 20''s.
That might have been the ultimate run but then again you might find a few tricks to get the time even lower. Good Luck.

 

Still over a tenth back...

 

how about getting them to run in the teens its still hard to beat a 5.13

 

Question....what blower car has lost to an AFD who ran 5.13 in the lane next to them?

 

Answer....None. They were all taken out by the .18 in round 1.

 

Great Job Ken Perry , 25 cm of snowfall again this week-end here in Montreal !!!

Thank you...I was just wondering

 

Oh, I thought you wanted to know what blower car lost to an AFD who ran 5.10 in the lane next to them.

 

They ran in the 5.25-5.30 range last year at Virginia too. If you missed...

I agree nice runs by Ken, Marty, Jeff, but I am sure they would like to run low 20's or teens.

Maybe they should talk to the TAFC cars that have caught up to Frank...

I understand the Afuel cars had some trouble on the tree this weekend, but if they work harder... I am sure they can solve that problem.

 

That was you Don??? Just kidding!

 

Shows that a MBR-Fontana motor works!

 

Will, I bet if(?) NHRA allowed FC Motors(526 CI) at 125% that would make up the gap in a hurry.

 

Before it's too late!

Will,
I'm not sure what it would take to make a good dent in the current disparity of our class, but we better try something soon or there are going to be alot of broke BA/D racers with a pile of junk that they can't even eat.
I would like to try the "C" blower at the old overdrive (115%), letting those who want to run the "D" keep 128% OD. To help use the extra air the C.I.D. needs to be increased by maybe 25 without adding weight. I'm not sure if this would get us close to the AF/D's, just increasing our OD just made the cars harder to get down the track except at track conditions like we had in Virginia. Since increasing the OD, we have not matched our best performances at any track except for Virginia (which we had never been to before).
Ken P. let it all hang out at the Gators and was still over a tenth back of two of Meyers runs. At most events the gap has been wider at that. We have not had a ton of runs at the new OD, but we have lucked onto some good setups, and it doesn't show that much performance potential. To dumb to quit trying, until I'm left with nothing. If it weren't for Torco I'd already be gone.
Alkyracer, I can't believe you didn't blow Morgans 5.12 in the weeds at Pomona. Your team must not have been thinking outside the box. LOL
Sorry to see you go.

Marty

 

Marty - Nice runs at the Gators and very glad you are still trying.

Thanks for the info too.

 

more inches

Will I think you're right in assuming that the cubic inches in the engine won't make the car much faster, if any. What I think is it will make the extra air from more blower ("C" or "D") more managable. What we have learned with the extra OD on the "D" blower is there is more horsepower there but it is much harder to manage. Thus I believe letting us have alittle more cubes (at the same weight), would make the cars more consistent. This would result in less breakage and a better show out of our class.

Have a great day.
Marty

 

Thanks

tjenna,
Thanks. Sometimes we resemble an ant trying to lift a watermelon, but I saw it done once on a cartoon.

Marty

 

Marty I bet if you tried a 526 w/125% OD in your Dragster you'd be amazed at the difference! If 2350 lb FC's can run .50's with that Combo you don't think that would mean .20's in a Dragster?
