    Always lots of good info. When I raced over 50 years ago I had one rule, if I light the pre stage you light the stage, if you light the pre stage I light the stage. Always thought the tree should have a timer after one car is staged where if the second car doesn't stage in like 5 to 7 seconds the lights start and they red light.

    @jamescardwell3254 6 днів тому

    Double bulbing isn't cool unless you're going to go in deep stage and you let the person you're racing know you're deep staging. I raced a friend one night. First time we ever pulled up side by side. He deep staged all night until he realized we were paired. I sat on the pre stage waiting on him to go on in deep stage 15 sec. later, I got the red light, and the tree fell on his side. He wiped deep off his window and didn't let me know. Pretty sorry way to do a fellow racer and friend to get a W. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy. You don't forget someone who does you that way regardless of friendship. Don't get me wrong, friends are friends, but when you do a burnout and take the tree, it's all business, but the starting line is not the place to play games.

    One other thing is about the trans brake. I don't know if you explained why you lock it up in the transmission and not use the regular brakes. I believe it's so that the suspension isn't under load until the brakes are released, which makes it la what a mess unch harder. Is that correct?

  • @pttech57
    @pttech57 6 днів тому

    Dennis, I had a suggestion about your vacuum pump for the tires. I discovered a few years ago that the mighty vac oil extractors work really well as a vacuum pump and will pull a full vacuum fairly quickly. So no power is required and l thought you might having one with you anyway. Another option is a diaphragm air compressor which work equally well as a compressor or vacuum pump depending on where you connect your hose.
