Take all that "STOP" junk and throw it in the garbage. Buy or build a Stock, Super Stock or Comp machine. Fans and most racers "HATE" stop cars. It's ruining dragracing.

I've tried them all
What worked best for me was to go on the stop early as you can , so you can have the whole track in front of you and get all of your MPH .--- I ran 9.90 @ 150 with a car that would only run 153/154 all out !

I find myself having to agree with Pete on this one.

With a 150mph S/Comp car your geting chased by 99.9% of the field no matter how you slice it, so why go on early?

Lets look at Stevie Mesik’s deal, Stevie runs his 10.90 @ 100mph and kicks *** and takes names, and does in all on at the top end @ 100mph ( without a stop I’m told, secret stuff). So a slow mph deal can work and turn the win light on.

So with a slower car mph car ( for the field,no offense meant, but 150mph for S/comp is a slower car) I’m with Pete and Stevie’s program, take them deep, deep, into race before they can make a decision.

Another possible option would be to run the “ Davis traction control” box along with “ THE MATTY BOX“ and that way who give a rats arse what mph ya run? Ya just set up dead on every pass. that way he only needs to worry about cutting a light. :>)

As far as the “MATTY BOX” is concerned ? One should consider the upgrade from the magnetic wheel sensors which use a sine wave and opt for the hall effect sensors which are a digital signal and much cleaner signal to read at slow speeds.

That’s all Y’all





Merry Christmas

I know guys/gals that go on the stop as early as .001 to avoid wadding up the tire, with that small amount of time you are talking about. I might use weight, shift time, or other tune up means to avoid a T Stop all together. Shifting sooner or later by 100 rpm, about 6 lbs per 100th of weight might be a good starting point, a manual thumb stop on the carb to control WOT can work. I have a Pig Farmin buddy that does more off the wall stuff than you could imagine that runs right on, that nobody wants to race or loose to.
