A GREAT weekend at the track!

[HAULIN IT]

This past Sunday was the Olds Powered Nationals @ Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio. We usually go on Friday & set up for the weekend & run the regular race program on Saturday & then the all Olds deal on Sunday.
I haven't had much time & hadn't touched the truck or raced it since the same race last year (besides adding/removing anti-freeze for the winter & changing the oil in the spring)
The wife ran the Stock Class (DOT tires & Mufflers) on Saturday. I believe there were around 60 vehicles in the class (6 rounds) & took Runner-up...went four 12.37's in a row!

The next day @ the Olds event, they added this year a "Ladies Only" Class, which I assume was to get some wives to drive hubby's car for some fun...Well, a few of the females were sharp & had lasted quite a number of rounds on Saturday night so we knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park. She did end up taking first in that Class but had some tight races...
that was another 4 rounds.


Not bad for year old sparkplugs & all. Now if I could only get the bog out of that Q-jet
Thanks to Motolenz for the great starting line photo

Tighten the screw on the secondaries flap 1/2 turn.  My $.02  I ran a quadrajet on my 69 Chevelle hobbystock.  They potentially run way better than anything I tried.

Truck looks good Haulin.

Running 12.37  4 times in a row is incredible.
Obviously your wife is a great driver and the truck is dialed in.
Congratulations on a big win.

Zieg, You missed my "wink" smiley...I was just having fun. Seems like everytime the word Quadrajet comes up, the next sentence has the word "bog" in it.

I spent a bunch of time (& rear tires) testing, fiddling, using a stop watch...drilling with a pin vice a few thousandths at a time until I got it to a point where it is very responsive on a whack to the floor from just above idle.

Ten of her 13 passes last weekend were 1.61 60' times, the other few were 1.62 & 3. It's done high 1.50's quite often. I've got the truck to leave the line well for a street truck running times much faster in the first 1/8 than the end result is, it simply doesn't have enough horsepower to push the "square box" through the second half of the track like it should.

Zieg, You missed my "wink" smiley...

yep I did miss it.  These are amazing carbs set up right.  I remember watching the guy tune mine on my circle track stock car.  He had all the drill bits and tricks to get it just right.  For a junkyard motor I was 2nd in points the year I was serious about running every night.  Sure ran good and consistent every night.

I know on an all stock original truck I would love to have someone tune a q-jet properly. I love my TBI tho on my daily driver.

put a 5000 rpm stall in it , that should take that bog right out of the truck
