Larry…Good Luck with the testing today. Dolly looks good with the new lipstick. MB

A few small gremlins only allowed one 300 foot pass but even with that I can tell the car is an excellent piece. It carried the front tires about 2" high well past the 60' clock. Straight, smooth, easy :)

We will correct the glitches and be back out soon. I expect the next outing will show some good numbers.

Sorry to hear you had a few bugs but overall it sounds like things went well. Congrats!

Been to the track lately? Any updates?

Re: Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build
 

Hack,

We were out a few weeks ago testing. Our tune-up is getting closer and each tweak to the EFI system is making more power. As we added power, Dolly became a handful. She was launching to the left and skating down track. We loaded up after 4 runs and have made chassis adjustments in preparation for the next outing. We're scheduled to test again at the Texas Motorplex next weekend and will report back.

Jeff: Some things to consider. Make sure rear is square to engine centerline. Check circumference of rears and make sure pressure is equal. If you have a double wheelie bar, make sure it's not steering the car on launch. Adjust the rebound on rear shocks softer. If they are stiff and you go through any bumps, it will pull the rearend up off the track surface and you start to spin the tires. Hope this helps.

Re: Team Woodfin's Bantam Roadster Build
 

The suspension adjustments made Dolly launch straight and stay planted to the track all the way down. The converter is too loose, so it has been sent off to be tightened.

Our next event is scheduled for June 10 and we are cautiously optimistic that the performance will significantly improve.
