Oh ya, did I mention to get rid of the power glide?  |
Well, thats the thing! There is no 1/4 mile tracks close that actually runs 1/4 miles bracket racing, lol. There is 3 1/4 tracks about 3 hours away or so, but even they only run the 1/8th for my class.
The only thing that runs the 1/4 at those tracks are the trophy class cars.
The powerglyde is perfect for what I run, and even for the 1/8th because you don't have to shift it. We have an electronic shifter that knocks teh car into high gear at whatever RPM you want. That helps make the car more consistant, which is what bracket racing is all about.
Now with that, I would love to drive in the 1/4, its just nobody does it that's close to me (not even at the Super Chevy Show in Bristol, they even run the 1/8th).
I think with a gear swap, the car could make the 1/4 with the way its set up. It's got 31x14 inch slicks, so I think a .488 or .456 gear would let it go the 1/4.
