Ooh that's a great idea. I was kinda thinking it was just my driving.
This car has several slips in the front section. I almost wonder if I should adjust the slips but idk what side to adjust.

This is the setup now but you can kinda see what I did. Behind the black tach tattle tale is all the holes for the old switches.

Can see the terminal block under the cowl and how I have the relay setup.

If you need help with wiring I can probably put some kind of schematic together. (Electrical tech by day)

When I ran allot of electrical stuff. I just mounted toggle switches in the dash for water pumps and fans etc. I had bigger switches for ignition (was just a Function of master)and fuel pump then mounted all the relays together under the cowl.

Front Engine Dragsters / Helmet paint and minor updates

« on: December 05, 2022, 10:03:26 AM »

As the weather hasn’t been very good and my dragster process has slowed. There has been some fun.

1. Got a minor sponsorship with redline oil

2. Finished up some paint work on a jr dragster kid helmet

Front Engine Dragsters / Re: What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?

Google 'Trustart drag racing'

Why? Meaning where this comment come from? Thanks

I am pretty sure somebody said one good reason for being the faster car is the slower car has the first chance to red light, in bracket racing. With the advent of the Trustart in "crosstalk" trees the driver with the worst red light will get the lose ticket, not the first driver to go red.

Maybe that statement got edited out of the original post. Sorry for the confusion.

Gotcha! Completely understand now.

I am also curious. I have a 110 pump and it’s just a bit much I think running a .160 pill.
