Borrowed Bracket Car
I borrowed a bracket car for our July 13th points race, a very rare night race for our track. I must thank the Price family for the use of their Chevelle while they were back East Jr. dragster racing.
I have never driven this car before & was hoping just to get out of the 1st round. Anyway, I made it to the semi-finals & screwed up. I had a .007 light to my opponents .09x light. I got rid of what I was holding & wanted the stripe but failed slightly in taking it. In hindsight, I realized that this 10.4x BBC doesn't make a distinct move like our ProCharged car when getting back on the throttle. |

Re: Borrowed Bracket Car
After borrowing this car & doing well.
I decided to try the transbrake button in a similar position in our car. While I wasn't totally comfortable with the position. I did well enough with it to try it out in our car. I have always had our button mounted on the passenger side of the drive shaft tunnel. Anyway, the button test change will be to the right of the steering wheel coming off the dash. Probably not the right time of year to be experimenting; oh well, it's in the works! |

Re: Borrowed Bracket Car
You might try all of your changes with a practice tree hooked up to your button - saves a lot of time

I have used a small handheld practice tree since, but not hooked up in the car. I appreciate you suggesting to me about testing the button on a practice tree! |
