Footbraking in H/R

jmcarter · 03-19-2013, 01:09 PM

Won a IHRA race several years ago foot braking and had the car dialed in by adding and subtracting weight, which won't significantly affect reaction times if you place the weight correctly. If you need to significantly change your ET you need one of the EZ plate systems, which are relatively inexpensive. Rolling in a little deep will help your lights if they are way off but doing it consistently is harder. Many change front tire diameter or take out some front end travel for tuning lights. Since you're in Plant City I'd hit some test and tunes prior to running the Bradenton race or whatever, don't expect to dial you and the car in during 2-3 time trials.
