being that clost ot running 8.90 I would try adding some wieght and run it out. I would be afraid to put it on a stop trying to scrub a tenth or two.

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 ! Colorful Racer

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.
