what's the problem?
Monday, August 07, 2006 11:44 PM
the closest track to me is an 1/8th mile track i usually run anywhere from a 9.5 to 9.6. the last couple times i went for some odd reason my times have changed drastically and i don't know how or why. i went from running the times listed above to running 10.5 and 10.60's. i don't know how is the question. someone said that it might be time for to change my spark plugs which i'll be doin this thursday . i came down to two conclusions.... its either time for a tune up or it's my cv axles cuz when i turn the wheel to either side it does pop. my trap times are a lil slower too. i usually trap at like 73-74 mph and my sixty foots were garbage which tells me that i was spinnin alot. what do u guys think the problem is. i hope its just a tune up that needs to be done and not replacing my cv axles.

what was the temperature from one run to the next?

weather and track conditions have a lot to do with it

yea that is right the track the first day was in @!#$ty condition cuz it had been drizzleing so catching traction was a lil difficult. but the last time it was sunny a upper 80's . i dunno a lot doesn't make sense cuz i've ran good times in somewhat hot weather before. i think i might have fixed the problem by cleaning my fuel system out it seems to pull like it used to so i think i might have fixed the problem. still gonna change my plugs just to be on the safe side. now all i need to do is get a day off so i can go to the track and see if cleaning the fuel system and changing my spark plugs was the problem.

if your first time out it was cooler than it is now, thats probably why you have higher times.
