I apologize for not getting these up but with all the talk about horsepower lately I did a little digging in the dyno files. Green line is without the juice red with the juice. Of course the video has been posted already .

I believe the first 300ft local bracket race is in april some time. I was talking to a guy i know and he said there is a up hill drag race the beginning of summer i believe near mass. or conn. need to find more info so i can represent for the cannondale army lol. Ill let you know what i get for 300 ft times, just removed front brakes, calipers etc to save weight. Now the quad is almost done saving weight i can start on all my hibernation winter weight haha.

Sorry for my ignorance but what does the smoothing on the dyno do?? Thanks

Happyboy · #68 Post by **Happyboy** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 4:07 pm

Generally smoothing the curve is just averaging the spikes to show a nice curve. All the times I have seen the dynos run the smoothing lowers the number and turning the smoothing off shows the spikes peak hp reading. You will get slot of spikes if the rear end is bouncing slot.

I have decided to tear apart and lighten up my drag quad. Here is a couple of pics of how far i have gotten since winter started, not very much haha but its coming along. My best time last year was a 5.28 in 300 ft with mostly consistent 5.3's. I bought an aluminum drag axle and am having dave moore racing fabricate me a drag lite swingarm. There should be a significant weight reduction between last year and the year coming. So i am hoping i will break into the 4's without nitrous. I will get more pics as i go, got a lot of tips and tricks from the website forums and like to thank everyone that has posted. Hoping to get the quad 300lbs which should be possible

looks good. I'm not sure if you ever saw it but a few years back there was a post called "light weight challenge" it had some cool pic's ideas in it.
