    Wheels standing 1970 AMX SS/H Qualifying #1

    6800 RPM launch. 1.40 60' time. First of 4 runs. Making adjustments to the chassis as car is leaving to the left. This run was 10.10 ET at 132.21 M...

    Apparently you don't realize "SS" is a NHRA or IHRA Class designation; as in "Super Stock" and this is an "SS/H" 1970 AMX like the title says. Super Stock / H. In fact, you can race in Super Stock with an AMX from 1968-1974 and even the Hornet AMX.

      Thanks for being a fan of not only my AMX but of Superstock racing! It is a lot of fun and we all love the challenge.

      There is work actually being done to the car and it will get posted here. Hopefully an engine on dyno video be the end of 2010.

    I doubt a typical hand-held fire extinguisher would have been sufficient for that fire. Believe it or not, NHRA rule book does not allow a removable fire extinguisher as it may come loose in a roll-over and hit the driver in the head.

    What is ridiculous is we, as racers, have to throw away perfe...

    If we're talking race car, all values and equations are consistent. If it's a a street / strip type car, then there are always compromises and the true ET potential is very difficult to meet against the MPH. Power adders will alter everything.

      Your MPH of 133.9 MPH should be a 9.86 ET. I had a race car previously that ran similar MPH. It's best was 133.66. 1320/133.66 = 9.88 ET. My best ET was 9.93 or .05 slower than optimum. As the car was not NHRA certified to run faster than 10.00, I didn't try any improvements to lower...

      Clutch: there may be things like a driver jerking the wheel while shifting or many other factors. But this car is spinning the tires on gear change which can cause it to move around. I can tell by listening to the launch there is too much base pressure and / or too heavy a clutch assem...

      Answer: HP makes MPH. That's it. MPH is is measured over a known distance and it taxes "x" amount of HP to make a certain MPH. The equation I use is 1320 / MPH = optimum ET. Optimum is the key word as there are variables that will alter the ET. But if you have a poor fuel system, for...

      Too much clutch. You can tell by the amount it pulls the engine down on the launch. Also looks like too much clutch is causing wheel spin on gear changes, that's at least one reason why it doesn't run straight down the track. 125.8 MPH and you should be in the 10.40's, not 10.80's.
