Here is a shot of the lowering blocks I had machined for a 2 degree wedge...sitting at 4 degrees pinion angle now.

Finally rounded up some blocks so I could more easily slip under the car to take measurements. Next set of slicks will be 94" in place of the current 92.5".

It's a Zeitronix Zt-3 system I had left over from a turbocharged Harley project. http://www.zeitronix.com/Products/Zt-3/Zt-3.shtml

Most people say that the 92.5 is the faster tire....why you wanna go with 94"? Gearing? Im probably goin with a 92.5, so i can gain some clearance, and worse case, i go back the 4.30 gear... are your 92.5 tires about worn out? I would like to pick up a good used set, to try on the car...

When I cut the blocks it raised the rear a bit as you can see in the pic's. It is buzzing the motor pretty good now with the 5.14 gear and 92.5 tires...figure I can accomplish two goals at once with the tire change. Current tires are fresh so it will likely be next season before the swap. I do have the previous set which have only around 50 passes on them if you would like to try.

You will slow that car down with 94" radials. Been there and done it. With the same combo.

Do you think that was due to the change in overall ratio or tire weight? Hoosier shows the same weight (22lbs) for both tires. What was the difference with your combo?

The two day Combo meet at Bowling Green this Saturday and Sunday was cut short by one day due to rain. Sunday brought fair weather and the meet went on as planned.

We had some time to kill early Sunday morning before leaving for the track so my partner and I decided to go check out the Corvette Museum since neither of us had ever set foot in the door.

Partner hard at work as usual...

I did not have a camera with me so I used the cell phone for the first time in my life...please excuse the quality. It was hard to believe the damage incurred to those cars from the sinkhole...I don't think a car crusher could have done as much damage. Only four cars were salvageable, the rest being totaled. From what I understand the wrecks are to be put back into the hole.
