Video of the family Truckster at Esta

Here's a video of my wife in the Fairmont, taken at the Pops race on 6/7. Car shifts itself at 4000rpm, working on a new trans so I can raise the shift points and get rid of the 2-3 shift flare. I'll be posting more videos soon, I have a couple of Cledus also from the Esta race.

nice doug... love the woody wagon.... red one looks like the 60 footers are much better the last year

Car was soft still it would only pull 1.55 60' times, it went 1.29 a few weeks ago. It's been eating oil and not running right so I figured I hurt something. It went 104.52 in the 8th but had to lift at 900ft because it went lean again that's why it only went 114. I'm going to sell the car and do the 69 like I should have 5 months ago.

 

[BlkStang89]

sounds like a plan.... was gonna say u were running near the 130 mph last year

133.16 super fat with a crap trans, now I'm at the other end going lean.

 

[BlkStang89]

gotta love them there carb's huh doug...lol but yeah i know ur trans did suck last year.. gotta love coming off the foot brake

It was more my fault then the carbs, it was only doing the job I set it up to do. Without an intercooler and on 93 pump gas it's best to be rich. Cutting it closer then I should have but that's why I had a junk engine in the car. It's a learing curve with the turbo versus an N/A car, not as forgiving. The next one is going to be really nasty.
