Mike, your doing great! The more laps the more data collected, 1 small change at a time, do not swing for the fence! Keep excellent notes, log every change and what it did or not do.

I miss racing terribly since I retired but love reading and keeping up with new builds. Your car is breath taking and exciting to see you grow with it.

Radial rear tires ? Add more pressure!

Those are the small bias tires (28”) with 15psi air pressure. Those short tires put me through the lights at 7,600rpm. I talked with Hoosier at the track and I'm going to try to fit some 30” radials on there for Vegas (actually 29.5 with 92.5 rollout)
