Items Wanted / 15 Inch Moon disc
« Last post by Clay Pitkin on May 09, 2024, 12:58:00 PM »WTB good used 15" Moon wheel discs,
Also interested in Jig for mounting tabs as well.
Yes, I am aware Moon has these brand new. However, I am going to be machining the used ones, and I really don't want to cut up brand new ones.
TIA,
Clay

I'll take bet.
What do you consider "not many".
There are 23 different classes for internal combustion engine displacements ranging from 50cc - 3000cc, and a variety of electric classes.

From my experience comparing speeds gained in the final 1/4 of the mile most will gain 10 to 15 MPH in the open wheeled class such as yours and the class I run with an engine that makes good power. The reduction in speed with the 2:22 gear could simply be the engine is no longer in its happy torque range trying to push into the wind.

Build Diaries / Re: Belly Tank Build Diary
« Last post by Mike Brown on May 06, 2024, 02:53:21 PM »We ran the ECTA mile this past weekend in Arkansas. The new rear suspension with coil springs and adjustable shocks was a handful. I started with 5 clicks (of 18) from full soft on both compression and rebound. The car was almost undriveable with so much twisting under acceleration. I moved up to 10 clicks then 13 and it was better. The best run was 204+ in the mile, note that I have been 210+ on this track last year. That was spraying the NOS for the last 1/4 mile for the 204 pass. The 210 pass was without NOS. The restriction that I put in blower bypass valve did help, I did not break the tires loose at all after shifting. I think that it is a traction issue, the 210 run had a tailwind while the 204 run was against a headwind. The data shows about the same RPM through the traps for both runs, or my clutch is slipping. I have a couple of inputs left on my data logger so the plan is capture tire speed for the front and rear wheels. That should help figure this out. I was almost at the rev limiter (6,500 rpm) on both runs, with 2.48:1 rear gears. I switched to 2.22:1 rear gears and went slower (199+). I plan to do some testing at the dragstrip with the original rubber springs. Going fast is harder than one would think.

Aerodynamics / Re: C/GALT Body Stretch??
« Last post by 71GSSDemon on May 06, 2024, 10:36:18 AM »I have been in discussions about a Charger 500 being legal. As they say only 392 were made, but all Daytonas started as Charger 500s etc. Technically it is production on a Daytona which is a model of the Charger. It shouldn't be an issue as I will never be in impound. It is possible that I decide to make some other changes and just run in Timed. Thanks!
