Jim have you ever considered only running 3lugs per wheel for weight savings lol

 

[moparjim]

I might have to try that. The Renault 5 had 3 lugs so it must be safe....

Man you got that car running good for sure. Mine needed a tune to run 10.30s. Impressive for sure.

Thanks Speedy
The weather was better with lower DA on Saturday. Stupid power was out due to storms on Friday so the track didn't open.
Now it looks like it may be over for the year. Missed my chance at neg 1200 or better.

 

[Speedy!]

I would lose my mind in -1200 LOL. I think the best I've ever seen was maybe +100-200.

Yeah it sucks when the track shuts down, maybe you can catch some good neg. DA in the Spring when it opens ? …..you still had a awesome year though.

Pfft... he's a Turbo Buick guy - clearly he can't be trusted. I should know.

Probably gun drilled his wheel studs.

Faster is OK but it seems to me that no improvement is necessary! I don’t think it’s the car that is the unicorn...Jim really knows how to race his car!

Thanks brother I appreciate that.
Funny how nobody doubted any of my times when I was struggling to figure this car out. It took me a year trying to run what the faster guys were running. Thanks to some help and tips from members on here and the other forum as well as some local racers I have found what works for me. I just got done putting the rear seat and sway bar back in as well as the stock front wheels in case the track is open tomorrow. I will go back and weigh the car on the way if I can. I expect it to weigh about 4600lbs as I will run less fuel like almost everyone else does.
The only issue is it will be cold so traction could be hard to come by if they are open.
I will be trying for 10.45 or better as I think that can be done. If not the car will not be modified for another year. LOL
I may bring my skinnies to see if I can improve on my times. But that isn't likely as the window of above freezing temps is only a couple of hours.
