Maximum effort off the start line has different results with different cars. I ran the same blown ARDUN and blown flathead in the black streamliner and in my roadster. In both cases we were still accelerating at the 5-mile in the streamliner but reached top speed by mile 1 in the roadster. I can start any way I want in the roadster but we got the streamliner moving as quickly as we could off the line to get the best speed. It was a relatively heavy car and that might make a big difference compared to a light car. Dave in Lincoln |
