Default Re: 10/30 track results for the 509.

Keep me posted. I wouldn't mind getting in a few runs before the end of the year. The day after Thanksgiving is usually pretty slow.

I lined-up at 6pm, and had 3 runs in by 6:52. Then all the oil-downs started. Those rotary wonders started getting there and having the usual breakdowns.

Make the whole file 15 seconds long instead of 1.5 minutes.

So how do you edit the log file, this would really help me also

Sorry for the late reply. Didn't know you had asked a question.
Yes, in Logworks 3. You can do it 2 ways.
1) when you are viewing the chart, top of screen, click on tools, then selection tool. Then highlight the section you want to see, top of screen hit edit/copy, then edit/paste as new session.
or
2) when you are viewing the chart, top of screen, select the little (+) maginfier glass, then put the mouse over the time scale below and keep clicking until you have stretched out the time scale the way you want it.

If you need screen shots, let me know.

i hate those damn rotorys!!
i agree that the next step you should take is a good test drive, or another trip to the track and check the plugs. you are at wot longer and the engine is under a greater load in 4th. you may be lean because of the jet size and or float level, also the high speed air bleeds may need a tune.you may have to adjust to the fat side in 1st and 2nd to land right in 3rd and 4th. you are still dealing with limitations of a carbs fixed orfices.
my car has always trapped better when i 60' under 1.7. i am using the stock 3/8" pick and -6 an line to a dead head reg.
sounds like you have a killer combo, i bet it is a blast on the street.
good luck with your tuning.
