    New best time for my Studebaker

     



    Had fun at Sacramento Raceway Wednesday night. Was able to make 4 passes 13.74, 13.73, 13.57 and a 13.92. This improves on my previous best 13.68 and is the most consistent I have been. I can attribute that to my simple traction bars and more practice on my part. This is through the mufflers on my wide white radial street tires. My 60' times still are not what I would like though from a best of 2.23 up to a 2.28. The 13.92 was in the first round of eliminations and I am afraid I got a little excited and mashed the throttle a little too hard coming off the line and spun the tires more. I was staging as shallow as possible which certainly hurt my reaction time. It's very hard to leave between the last two yellows which is what I need to do. The Studebaker represented the marque well and frequently had a crowd around it with questions and tales of Studebaker lore.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
