Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Well we will see if I helped or hurt the car this week. I did make it legal for fuel check. My black eyes are almost gone from the surgery on my nose. Also installed chiller fittings in the cooling system and a larger fan. Baby steps.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Santa Claws came this weekend. I am now the proud owner of my own ECU. Now I need a backup unit. Thanks so much for letting me use your spare ECU.
We made some progress on going A to B. Six runs within .016 in 60' from morning to HOT afternoon. I even had Patsy filming my burn out and the launch. I'm changing converters to see if I can get Dumbo a little quicker in 60'. I need to add a little weight to help the balance of the car and make it fit the Class. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We had a family meeting yesterday on why Dumbo is such a slug that spins.
We viewed the runs from Indy. Chris asked the obvious question, have I adjusted on the front shocks to loosen them up. To let the car transfer weight quicker. NO, I felt really stupid that I didn’t do the simple thing first. The good old K.I.S.S. Method. I will try the local track and see what my different converter reacts. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
It would not pass fuel check, to much LA. Hot Sauce. But Frank if you do find out please share because we can not get back to that performance.
The weather that day is what everybody dreams about. Last edited by Larry Hill; 08-12-2023 at 10:56 AM. |

I feel your pain, but I'm very confident you will figure it out. All the best, Frank |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Frank we always try to be a player for class at Indy. Been number one a few times at Indy then got tore down and passed tear down. It’s someone else’s turn to be at the top of the heap. I always tip my hat to anyone that is smart enough and works smart enough to be number One at Indy.
We are so happy that Dumbo is wanting to be a quick elephant. |
