Guys I'm new to this and the car goes 11.1@119 in a 1/4 with 4.30 gears. I'm running at the only open track which is 1/8 mile and the car pulls to the left and will unload the tires mid track . Heres a link to some passes. Open to suggestions and Humor. I am looking at the alignment next.

This is the link https://youtu.be/Rx2MEosG6kQ

Thanks

what are the 60's?

1.64 to 1.58 with 4:88 gear and 1.68 to 1.74 with 4.30 gears

Come on you guys I know its a slow car, I still need help.

Was the track prepped at all? Looked like you were spinning quite a bit?

leafspring deal?

No prep I dont think Irwindale can really afford it.

Coil springs ford stock four link with SSM lower bars and anti roll bar

You're probably not the only one having trouble getting down that track. !

OK whats pimp juice.......

Hard to tell without better video, (sun glare & camera could be a little closer to the car, or zoomed in a little more) but it kinda looks to me like the rear suspension is kinda stiff, or maybe something is in a bind. The rear suspension doesn't really seem to do anything at the hit (separate or squat). It just kinda bounces/oscillates up-down a number of short cycles (either on the rear springs or the sidewalls).

I don't know much about the later year rear coil spring Rancheros, since they are a "truck" do they have a real stiff factory rear coil spring? And are you using a bunch of pressure in the air bags?

Since it's a factory 4-link you might try posting a pic of your rear suspension layout, it might help the factory Fox Body suspension guys offer up some suggestions.

And of course as mentioned earlier it could all just be crap track prep.

Pimp Juice. Can you still get it?

In a 12 once can.

Sure OKC home of the street outlaws. But what about the rest of us?

adjust sway bar, You're putting too much pressure on right side ,which makes car pull left

It's gettin down the track pretty good now. When Dave Dillagasket said it doesnt do much , just like oscillates, that made me soften the rear and add more weight to the back. Sway bar adjustment, lower air to 11 psi in the slicks and also found some alignment problems in the front. Thanks guys.

Proper front end alignment & geometry can at times go a long way to solving any number of annoying little gremlins thought to be in other areas of the car's suspension.
