Dumbo The Flying Elephant

[Larry Hill]

The PRI show gave me access to some of the people that could supply me with some answers. Questions about rods, rings, FI, blocks, and just a bunch of other stuff I needed to know about. Now if I could just remember.

The seat of my pants is not good enough to help with the performance of the car in the first 60 feet. So Santa please bring some shock sensors and some new rear shocks.

Merry Christmas y?all and have a fun and prosperous New Years!

Started the year off on a good note. I worked all day on racing , it felt good.

Now that Chris is walking with a boot on things are starting to get back to some resemblance of normal. Now it doctors appointments and basketball games. Life is good but I am falling behind at a blistering rate.

That’s a classic Larry, see you and Patsy at Gainesville or BG…

Most of the honey does and got to does are caught up enough to get back to my ignored Dumbo. Im trying to follow what was taught in school. Information rich and sensor poor. I am in process of installing shock sensors on the car, it sounds easy enough, but it seems there is alway a catch. I have to know ride height, full extension of front and rear suspension, full compress distance of front and rear suspension, figure travel and add a fudge factor so as not to destroy the sensors.
While I am doing this I will send the shocks of to be checked. So the first thing to do is four wheel scales. Measure compressed height on shocks. I found a tape measure the reads in .10 of an inch it makes it easier to interpret .050 or .025. Remove coils off of shocks and remove springs. Measure travel. Back to work.
