Ultra Street Malibu first race

The June 2nd SCS was our first official race with the newly completed rebuild of the HFR Malibu. First qualifier it kicked the tires in the heat. Still working on a hot track setup. Second qualifier we found a tune to get down the track. Slower, but went point A to B. Car ran a 5.328 @ 130.91 good e...

Re: winter changes/upgrades

Looks like the car is working really good Todd, and the wheelie bar seemed to be doing it's job fine. Interesting to see it moving as the shocks extended. The bars were barely touching the ground due to the rear separation/pinion rotation. The only pass it tried to use the bars was the very last on...

Re: winter changes/upgrades

Very impressive indeed! 5.27 off the trailer, all-motor? I broke a Jesel rocker testing last night. Very few cars at the track and really hot temps made for a tricky surface. 5.66 was the best I ran. Had to pull a ton of power out. Still don't have a good root cause for the rocker failure. Sorry to...

Was exhausted till I got showered and climbed into bed. Anyway, testing was very productive. Car worked well when the track was firm, but never got d...
