Slowing down Transbrake

<< < (2/2)

Paul New:
Jon Hansen has 19” wheels available and tires for http://haydenent.com/Pages/TireKenda.html

AF150:
Wire wheels or solid?  If wire, do you run a guard ring? Do you stage too deep? Minimum roll out can make things happen real fast.

wideopen231:
AF150 has very good point.I know with bracket deal you have to stage exact same spot every run or it will be red.I mean 1 or 2 inches makes big difference,especially now days when it take 00- to win most rounds.

tcoupekyle:
One thing I’ve done to slow down the TB is wire a relay in between the button and the brake.

THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
OK.
I'll divulge one of my little techniques I developed to keep from going red when bottom bulb racing without a box.
I two-count each bulb. Or three-count it if I'm still too early.
Like this, for each yellow:
2-1
2-1
2-1!
 and release on the last1.

If still too early try a three-count.
3-2-1
3-2-1
3-2-1!

I've been doing this for decades. It takes a little practice to get good (what doesn't?) but its cheaper than mechanical changes and easier to revert back when using the box.

You're welcome.
