Bracket Racing vs Class Racing

Gary - we have the Calmap software that I can burn a copy and send to you. To your earlier point, had to navigate through a bunch of different resources to track down a guy in Alabama a couple years ago as there's not exactly a lot floating around.

The internal data logger doesn't work very well, but if you can get your hands on one (mfgs like Zeitronix are really affordable and easy to install) it can help you understand where you're at with the current tuneup.

Thanks, and if you would PM me and I'll send you my mailing address for that software copy.

All of this is good, but it just dawned on me that power wasn't my problem in 'Vegas last month, it was tire spin that caused me to lose a probably winnable race in rnd 1. This was the second time in three seasons at that track that I lost a winnable race to tire spin (2015 rnd #2 was the other one)! My engine produces enough torque now, that those 20x6x14 M/T slicks can't handle them without either multiple dry hops, or going through the water and doing burnouts again (I stopped because they don't make those or even the better 20x8x14 slicks anymore). What I need to do before I enhance the tuning of my engine, is get wider slicks, so that's on my Christmas wish list. M/T makes a 22" slick that's 8"s wide, so hopefully they'll fit on my current 13x6 rear wheels and I'll switch them around with the fronts for the better traction. That's priority #1!

Hah, hah, if you were in the other lane, I'd make sure my tires had the proper grip, and then do my damned well best to send you packing after we raced!
