Exactly after all responses to the OP's questions are done. It seems 1320racer still has diarrhea of the keyboard. He also is reveling in how the click / view count keeps climbing. Stan |

I wish you kids would quit...
In regards to the original question, I have been working a good bit on my 572 COPO lately. I can tell you for a fact that the only way you will get that car to repeat with a three-speed is to put all of the weight on the rear tire.

Ed, on the no splitting I don't think I would split either. I know it would not make others happy but just don't think I would split either. Damn the Torpedoes LOL

nick it doesn't and hasn't, there is video that shows that when Kyle wouldn't split at the Fling $100K. Most everyone that competes at these big $ gambler races just wants to make the split whether that's at 16 or 32 cars.

It is 100% relevant. In a perfect world, any car would go faster if all four tires were on the ground. That said, when tire size becomes a limiting factor, the wheelie is the only thing allowing the car to move forward.

Big statement coming from a nobody that ain’t ever done anything on the track. I’m ok with those that “hate” me because they don’t like the truth and the facts, hate me because my opinion doesn’t align with theirs, hate me cause my replies bruised their ego, hate me because I have 2 top tier cars, built and maintain with money not being an issue, hate me for whatever reason makes them feel better.
That said, i don’t post to make friends, have too many now. I post to offer my advice, my 1st hand experience from over 3 decades on the track, logging thousands upon thousands of passes in both a small tire, stock suspension stocker type door car as well a back halved 14” tire Super stock car, foot braked and trans brake launched. Disagree 100%. Being able to hook was never stated by the OP in his original post nor his 2 follow-up posts. That said, I've previously stated here, if you can't hook without a big long wheelie, you need to work on your junk. Last edited by 1320racer; 10-22-2024 at 02:07 PM. |

Gump, you don’t have a clue to my intelligence, experience and abilities! If you can’t get that car to hook without a big wheelie,I can and there are many that can who build, prepare and or drive the FSS cars.

Not sure how many on here have encountered Ed on other sites but he seems to think as if he works at the insult factory.Not sure if when he punches his final time clock that he wants to go down as most hated person on the internet or most band. These days it seems as if his car and driver really have it going on. Not sure why anyone wants to be so hated on the internet. Anyway back to he’s comments about which was a whole lot about sixty foot. On one of the other sites from probably 15 years ago and one of my favorite replies was.
Caption at the top of the thread read after he was band from that site. Where has Ed Bigley gone? The reply He’s over at the 60’ nationals Terry Last edited by outlaw; 10-22-2024 at 11:38 AM. |
