Test & Tune  - April 25, 2012

We made a couple of setup changes and took the Anglia back to Gainesville Raceway for another test & tune night.  The weather was beautiful; about 80 degrees with a little breeze.  On the first run, after a decent burnout, the car launched harder and was more stable at speed than our 1st T&T night.

On the second run, after sitting in the burnout box for a period of time, the motor loaded up and ran a little flat until it cleaned out about the shift point.  As a result, the run was  disappointing.

After our 2nd T&T night, it looks as though we have some rpm left, so we're planning a gear change.

Test & Tune - April 4, 2012

Finally! We took our Anglia to Gainesville Raceway for its first test & tune night.

The little gasser went straight and true right out of the box!  We had it setup a little conservatively for the first time to the track.   Now that we see it will behave itself, we can dial it in some more.  Hopefully, we can get some more pictures and video soon.

There is a video of the Anglia's first run at Gainesville Raceway on the Video Gallery page.

 Our Pinks t-shirt design

PINKS All Out, the popular spin-off program of hit reality series, PINKS, invites up to 450 grass roots drag racers to qualify for a shot at the final PINKS All Out 16.  

Competitors race for the lion's share of an $18,000 overall purse ($10,000 to win) and a new NAPA tool chest.

Hosted by creator and executive producer Rich Christensen and produced by Pullin Television out of Los Angeles, the television show rigors its on-air technical advisors (brothers Nate and Adam Pritchett) to select a field of 16 cars based upon a subjective elapsed-time grouping determined through two time-trial sessions.

Even though Mark was not selected for the final 16, it was really neat to be in this event.  There were about 410 entries and a lot of nice (and fast) cars.
