Doug Frazier's New Challenger

MEMORIES · 04-12-2009, 07:37 PM

Here's a couple of pics I shot of Doug racing Footbrake class in his new Challerger at his home track, Brainerd Optimist Drag Strip Saturday night. He made it to the quarter-finals.

Wayne,
Thanks for posting these pics! I am having a lot of fun with this car wish some wheel company made wheels for it but maybe i will find some soon.

ED,
Thank you, I am on a learning curve with this car. So far 10.35 @ 70.00mph 1/8 mile not to bad for a little motor in a really heavy car. I know what it wants at the starting line but trying to predict what it will run is a challenge usually it will repeat but it will throw u a curve and be a tenth slow or fast so im taking notes and trying to learn but 3 races so far and got down to 8 cars 2nd race and 4 cars in the 3rd race so I am pretty happy so far, maybe You or Billy have some advice on how to predict this car? Hope to see You soon!
Doug

Just hold ten. A friend of mine tried to race a v-6 Mustang and it did the same thing. He finally gave up and went back to his old 302 maverick.

One thing that might? help Is to disconnect the battery before a run. It works with some of the turbododges it gets the computer into a learning mode. So it doesn't try so slow itself down.

Disconnect the battery and hold your foot on the brake pedal for about a minute to discharge the capacitor in the cpu. You want to kill the KAM (keep alive memory) it will relean everything on the way home. You'll need to do it every run though.

Doug I just called and they said there RT series wheels will fit in the rear, and you can use 15inch rims! Which is a godsend to anyone trying to fit "real" tires ie drag radials, or even street legal drag tires over those 12.6 inch brake rotors!

disconnect both positive and negative battery cables and put them together for like a minute or so , reattach and it will be in relearn mode. good luck, enjoy. car looks great.
