As the tile 'sez, I'm building a low rent 95 Mach 1 for asphalt.
I'm sure this has been covered many times before, but my questions are particulare to this build. I'm experianced with a couple of seasons as a hired gun on an asphalt sled (green) but didn't do any work on it, so it's not my first rodeo. This sled will be for a sled series that runs as a support class with a dragbike series that I also race in.
What I have gathered so far is a used 10.5 121" slick track (free and in good usable condition), A set of Wahl Dros. asphalt skis (new and also free) A '95 670 Mach1 with union bay twin pipes and silencers (real cheap) in fair condition. I've also purchased a Dyna DRL300cdi rev box for a two step style launch, and 4 sets of extra idlers
Now my questions What to do about the drivers. With the 3" pitch track and 10.5 width, what do I need to do to make this work on the stock twin shock skid. I know I need to tie the skid down. My thought was to eliminate the shocks and put spring stuts with 1" of travel on in their place. With 8 extra wheels, is this enough and do I need a set on the tips of the rails like anti stab kit wheels. Slides are removed per the rules.
This sled doesn't need to be fast, just consistant. It's bracket racing
Any other Ideas would be welcome.
