'67 Shelby slow build

Mike Gray · 08-19-2024, 02:00 AM

Took the car back out to Bakersfield again to get more experience and be set for the double divisional in Oct. The weather was not as hot but still warm, altitude density about 2200-2500, higher humidity. This time I made 4 tuning changes before heading out (I know one at a time!) mostly timing related and a jet change.
First pass rewarded with a 10.26 @ 128
Second pass (oil down in front of me, lined up bad) up in smoke 2 second 60ft.
Third pass (elimination and another jet change) got distracted bad light, chased but had to give it up. 10.27 @ 117 on a 10.25 dial.
I still left with a smile because of the .500 improvement. Now to search for a little more!
