Re: Yenkos racing
Rob and I went to Memphis Wednesday for their last TNT of the season. After running a personal best 10.38 @ 125 MPH at Rogersville, I was wanting to see if I could get into the 10.20s. The night started off wild, as I left at my usual 5600RPM, the Deuce all but stood on its rear bumper, with a great 60’, but got out of the groove, so I had to lift. The next few passes I decided to leave a little easier, first at 4600RPM then upping a couple of hundred each pass. I was able to run a 10.346 @ 126.19 then a 10.314 @ 126.36 so I was close, but then as happens at Memphis, the fog moved in, making the track a little slippery, so that was it for the night. I think 10.20s are doable, but the MPH may not get much higher, as the little SBC is really turning some RPMS at the stripe (5.13gear).
Unfortunately it looks like racing is over in this part of the world, so will have to wait until spring to what the Deuce is capable of.
