Drag Races
by brian @ 01:12:46 - [perma-link]
I took the Charger out to PIR tonight, and made 3 trips down the strip.
The first was a 16.815 @ 84.13mph, then 17.126 @ 83.35 (ouch), then my
best at 16.773 @ 84.75mph.

Josh took videos. All 3 runs are in there. The second one was quite a mismatch :).

I made the second pass with the alternator field wire connected, and the
others with it off, so the alternator didn't put a load on the motor.
That seemed to be worth about .3 seconds.
