Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
Stock eliminator round 1 just finished up. Some very impressive runs to note. I would say the air was better, but hard to gauge because most racers were back in bracket mode.

Ford Racing offers mechanical throttle bodies for the Cobra Jet's also. I assume these are for the electronically challenged such as myself. thanks, Roland |

That first round win for Brian oughta make him feel a little better.
Looks like the CJ's are going down fast. |

I was at Indy Thursday & Friday from some very good sources There is new cals for the SC engines if you agree to play by their rules you get them if you don't TOO BAD. Heard this more than once.

Re: "Live" from Indy! 2010
Virtually anyone can tune the CJs using aftermarket software, which is available from Diablosport, SCT or any number of tuning outfits. You can also install a stand-alone computer, but the ones that control electronic TBs are very expensive. Racers are not reliant on the Ford computer, or Ford tuning, although some have continued to use it with Ford Racing calibrations.
It's not as top secret as you think and anyone can purchase the software and hardware required to tune a new CJ or ANY EFI OBD-II or newer equipped vehicle. Most modern performance shops that work on new cars have this technology. In the end you are only controlling throttle opening, fuel and timing, which you can do on a carbureted car with hand tools. It's still just an internal combustion engine. |

I was in the tower for the first round of class for SS cars, it was fun to see the ET/MPH and how some racers had 1000 foot deals worked out. Herb Jr[/QUOTE] FUN ! Thats not racing thats more like playing with yourself when you have a beautiful woman to do it for you. 1000 ft deals is just one more reason the spectators love John Force. Even S/G would be more interesting ! |

I could not see myself agreeing to race to the 1000' and lift I'd quit racing (if you call it that)first. Last year at Indy Tim Kish and I ran each other for class. There was no talk of running to 1000' . We both knew we could get the instant hit. Fine situation? Lose class and get an instant hit to boot. We shook hands, wished each other luck, and raced. That is the way it should be. |
