Tim Nielsen / Geoff Wright - Meeting Report
In the short off season Geoff had decided to Freshin up
the motor, put a different cam in, as well as a diff
ratio change, we would use this Test n Tune to sort a
few things out ready for the new ADR Season.
With everything running all right in the pits, we were
ready to hit the track. Our main goal today was to go
straight and hopefully run a few PB's. Before today the
BOSS BULLET has gone as quick as 7.79.
Before I got strapped in I had noticed that Geoff had
put 7.79 on the Dial In board on the scoop. I changed it
to 7.78.5
LOL
Our first pass was at 10:22am, the conditions were
almost perfect. The burnout was strong with not alot of
RPM, this engine makes some good torque, so there is no
need to flog it. I left with a .044 light and the
dragsters 60' was 1.111
Our ET was a PB for both Dragster and Driver running
7.785.
Not bad for the run in pass.
You could say that the Team was a little excited (That
would be an understatement). We checked over everything
once back in the pits, and all was good. We left the
same tune up in the dragster and headed out. I changed
my gloves back to my old ones, as they are a little
thinner and I have more feel in them. |

RUN No 2
11:48am I left with a .021 light, wheels up 1.122 60' ,
picked up almost 1 MPH at half track and running another
PB, this time 7.775 @ 171.10. ALL GOOD.
Time to play with the Tune Up. That is what a Test n
Tune is all about. I took .006 out of the Delay box.
RUN No 3
2:15pm the burnout felt a little flat. I left with a
.015 light which was good. Our 60' was a little slower,
which effected the whole run. We ran 7.847 @ 169.68. The
result was not what we were looking for (You don't know
until you try). For our next pass we went the opposite
wasy from run 1 and 2. Sounded and felt alot better
before we took it out. |

RUN
No 4
3:53pm I took another .004 out of the
Delay box - left with a .003 light, our 60' was 1.113 the rest
of the time card didn't look that bad either, we ran PB number 3
for the day 7.771 @ 171.10 All Good.
We would only get one more pass in for the day, so we might as
well make one more change to the engine and see how we go. Geoff
wanted to play around with the timing. |

RUN
No 5
I left the Delay box alone for our final pass, and left with a
.011 light our 60' time was much the same, but it felt a little
flat in the top end. We ran 7.810 @ 170.45.
A good days Testing, with everything coming up A OK.
We will come out to the next Test n Tune before the Nationals
and continue with some ignition timing, as well as putting the
Hoozier slicks of my dragster and see how it runs.
Thanks to the whole Team for a great day.
Geoff, Rod, Jimmy, Cassandra and Cheyenne. |
