There are countless ways! longer transbrake button for one tire pressure ? this list goes on it all depends on what works for the driver

 

Or you can eat 2 burgers and two dogs right cumminatya.... lol Oh sorry that just slows down the driver....

 

Taller front tire would help for sure, launch 500 rpms less.

 

Where are you staging at, deep or shallow? If I stage too deep, I'll bulb. If I just tickle the second beam, it's ok.

 

I shallow stage, I just tickle the second beam.

 

X2, with what you have, knock at least 5psi out of the front tires, and reduce launch rpm.

Taller front tire, knock the rear gear down to 4.11.

 

How much red are you going? Is by a consistant amount? Is the track and beams consistant(even from lane to lane)?

Like cumminatya said there are countless ways of impacting R/Ts. Taller front tire, tire pressure, staggering wheels, anti-squat, launch RPM and driver are all changing the R/T.

We are fighting red lights in Scotty Bs car now on a 500 pro tree with a stick car. We changed front tires added ballast in rear to firm up some inconsistancy we saw on film and tested, made 4 passes. RT's were .003, .008, .020, .001 . Went to another track and R/Ts were all over the place (spread of .120 overall from .030 red to .087 green) and others noticed lane to lane was off also with one being tight. Red in right was green in left. Letting some air out in front helped but still was inconsistent. Maybe it's car, track or the driver having a bad day. We will see in BG this weekend.

 

Bigger front tire
Less pressure in rear tires (if it can still hook)
Lower launch rpm
Throw a sandbag or two in the trunk (seemed to work for me)
Add more travel up front

 

Also what type of racing is it? Heads up, bracket, or index? I assume since you said last amber it's full tree and so assuming once again bracket? A lot of things you do to car set-up will also affect ET to some extent.

 

Lower launch RPM. It works like a charm and you can progressively lower/raise based on track rollout/your reactions that day/anything else. Try 3500 and see what happens!

 

How much front suspension travel? Get as much as you can. Get 28" tall front tires. Hell, I run the MT 29" on my wagon. Very tight fit on turns, but I'm still trying to find about .08 second. How much air in front tires? You could get some with just dropping your current tires.

 

What's A guy do if he leaves at idle, and flashes the convertor. How does he slow it anymore? Take some air out of the front tires?

 

Yup. As long as it doesn't give you control issues down track.

 

Leave later.....

 

Nice!,lol... I like to leave tho the minute i see it flash on

 

I was having the same problem... At Martin MI.. I was .003 red .. 004 red...004 red again....011 red.... 018 red.... I didn't do much racing that weekend..... I put a bigger tire on the front... adjusted my front and rear shocks to a harder setting.... dropped my rpm by 700 . I use a terminator tb switch and had all the shims out, now I have 3 shims in and cutting .010 to .020 green lights... now i can adjust with just the shims.

 

Build a blocker and block the whole tree except the last yellow.

If your going red your not seeing the last bulb come on. Chip the car down 200-400rpms on the launch and see what happens.

 

I tried using a blocker and I was going -.200 in the red

 

Try it on a .500 pro tree. You'll see.

 

What Bud said. Took me 20 years to finally listen and learn, try it, you'll see.

 

Okay guys! I will take your word! Thanks

 

I just staggered my front wheels tonight.
I was able to put 1 1/4" difference.

I'll find out how this works this Sunday, then second I will play with RPM's and front tire pressure.

Thanks for all the pointers

Ken

 

Get an adjustable chip for your 2-step and lower the RPM a lot, lower front tires to 25, rear tires to 9, stage as shallow as possible, and push on the button harder.

 

Tighten down the front end. Slow down the lift.

 

Its the opposite...more travel...keep tires in beams longer

 

Change your pro brake out for bracket brake, it will be a couple hun slower.

 

They're not in the air. The car is moving out and up, not just up. Look at a picture more from the side and you'll be able to see how far forward the car moves before the tire is off the ground. That being said, dropping the rpm will work to slow the reaction time.

 

Id use a longer button before I change the car...

 

Best thing I ever got was the biondo button. It's a 3" button and with that button and blocking, my lights are very constant

 

Lose the pro brake. Sportsman brake for sportsman tree. I'd bet your not anticipating. With my pro brake , reaction time is .02 to .06 green on a .400 pro tree. On a sportsman bracket tree it is .03 to .05 red leaving on last amber flash. Sportsman tree is one tenth slower so you do the math. I've asked the same question you did. It will be tough without changing the brake. I mostly heads up race so I won't be changing mine.

 

If your going red your not seeing that last bulb come on.
