Suspension suspension suspension. You can have all the power in the world. But, if you can’t make it stick..........Graciousness in defeat is a true sign of character. Good job, gentlemen.

@djarcforceable 5 лет назад

Yeah I've been thinking for a long time that Leroy was too finicky on his launches and wondering if it was an issue where the suspension was too firm maybe. I'm no expert at all... just a suspicion I've had. Seem to me like a suspension that is too firm to torque load up like a spring will require much highest skill from the driver in his or her clutch technique. And when we're talking about a 3 gear change 7-8 second race.... that's asking a lot of the driver.

@jaceneholmes8088 5 лет назад

If he’s driving clutch then he needs the suspension softer so all of the body weight can shift to the rear tires because the car is too light so if he slips the clutch enough he doesn’t have to really worry about spinning

@austin5806 5 лет назад

He might need to crank up the rebound stiffness on the front.

@michaelweems679 4 года назад

I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. Traction bars maybe. He's got to keep the ass end down or no 7s. A larger diameter tire will help to reduce wheel spin as well. They need to approach the problem with physics in mind. Science is the answer to everything.

Most people would be mad to run 1 sec down in the final race but he said i wouldn't have it any other way those guys have their shit together. That's the reason i prefer watching ol' Cleeter above anyone else. He is in it for the sport and spirit of competition.

@erinboatguy 5 лет назад

Guys watch the launch of the 240....Look at that little bit of wheel spin and tire wrinkle just like a little top fuel car.....I just think Leroy hooks up to hard on the green light and does a jump. That hand break leaver needs a big return spring on it too it's not popping back to zero fast enough....Just my arm chair racer 2 cents worth.....Hell yeah brother !!!

@mikealbrailsford5438 5 лет назад

You're possibly very correct though. 240 has the perfect balance of wheel spin and grip off the line. But he's also got a back half tune that's eating up boost pressure and loving it. The MPH shows it big time.

@Magucci13 5 лет назад

I would like to also add, Leroy needs different shocks in the front. Needs way more rebound so Leroy can squat in the back. I think tire spin and more squat. He'll be unbeatable

@Sonos45 5 лет назад

That brake wont hold back that much power. Corvettes have like no suspension travel. Don't forget Leroy was a do everything car drift, street, drag. The suspension is not what most cars running 7's have. Leroy is pretty dialed in without a solid axle and a bouncy front end.

@yeahok115sure 5 лет назад

Magucci13 I was just watching the video and I though the same thing. Leeroy needs shocks front and rear. The 240 rear end squats just right off the launch, and the front shocks are using all the travel in the first 60ft. Leeroy doesn’t really move, I think Cletus is the only reason leeroy is even doing what it’s doing. He uses the hand brake like traction control. That is was too inconsistent

@chrisedwards2593 5 лет назад

I’ve wondered for awhile if Leroy would benefit traction after 60ft from a MODEST rear spoiler. Seems he breaks loose and gets real squirrelly out there.

@mikem302 5 лет назад

@maxnaz47 5 лет назад

That's because the rear control arms are walking in the bush mounts under torque and steering it from the rear, forcing him to counter steer as the boost comes on in each gear. If he sources some harder bush mounts, i'm sure it would solve the walking issue, also think he needs to take 1/2 maybe a full psi out of the rears, seems to be riding a little high and only using the middle 2/3's of the tread (previous video showed a real good shot of control arms moving and the tyres riding high)

13:55 Looks like the brake lever isn't resetting to its full forward position after you release it. The lever's weight is holding itself back under all those G's, and it only returns fully at 14:05 when you let off. This may mean the car is applying brakes accidentally and you need a stronger return spring?

@Legtoneale Aero drag increases exponentially with speed, it's not like he hits a wall at 70 but I don't think Leroy can go much faster without better aero. There isn't enough traction to put down power when the air is holding him back so much. He's been getting new motors and turning up the boost for more power but he isn't going any faster, more power isn't going to help if he can't put it down

I'm so proud of you. You are a true good sport. You'll do much better next time. Think about bringing Jeremy your tuner. I'm 75 so my memory isn't that good but I think that's his name. I'm a 3 tour Vietnam combat vet. I've awakened every morning since 1972 thankful that nobody is shooting at me. Seeing you and your freedom to do what you love and doing it with a gladness for other's success is inspiring even to this grumpy old man.Thank God for American freedom where you can write your own script of life. You live it well. I've loved cars since I was 11. I've raced both drags and open track road racing. I admire the engineering that goes into autos. America allows men like you to experiment, learn and compete. You and your friends are truly what this country is all about. Keep freeing them bald eagle and do it for Dale!

Don't understand why I can't watch an NRA drag race for 15 mins without getting bored but I could watch Leroy and Ruby go all day.

@eirikz24 5 лет назад

Because the NHRA drag races are whose disposable engine powered exactly the same car can go faster than the others. There's no variety, there's no challenge, and there's no heart. This is just dudes dreaming up crazy shit to go fast, trying to do things that haven't been done, and appreciating each others journeys while doing it. I'll take this every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Alright Cleeter, it's racing season. Time to quit fooling around with all those other rigs and get the you + Leroy zen back where it ought to be! Excellent work regardless, though, and it's great to see your graciousness. I've lost a lot of things (races, jobs, girls, fistfights, on and on) and I've not always been able to stay gracious and positive, but every time I was it turned out WAY better than it ever would've otherwise. We're all just folks, nobody's any better or worse than another, some are just a little luckier or better prepared now and again. Keep boggin' deep!

@bigheadrc7125 5 лет назад

@@picklebacon its not his parts its how he has them set up. you can see leroy bouncing all over the 60 foot.

@vernyjm 5 лет назад

Pickle Bacon the fact that it was a road vehicle makes the chassis behave like that, I know Leroy has coil overs and sway bars but the way it bounces is just beyond of what the car may need, weight transfer is massive because of how much torque the car has, doing the car less prone to sit under acceleration or dive under brake is critical, but I can assure it’s going way to deep under heavy loads!

@harrykelly4651 5 лет назад

He should get some minimal carbon panels on the front end and on the roof

@SS454LS6 5 лет назад

Aero is a problem, but panels won't make as big of a difference to the ET as you think. There's only 3 seconds of the pass where aero will actually matter. But in competition, every tenth counts.

@zesidil 5 лет назад

that is the next step.. drag squares with speed and Leroy downforce is super draggy as per the windtunnel.

@zesidil 5 лет назад

@@harrykelly4651 they played with that in the windtunnel video, some of the panels made it worse as the drag is due to the dead air behind the car iirc.

@teemun3979 5 лет назад

@@harrykelly4651 It might sound counter-intuitive, but aero is actually more important on the back end than the front, because the back is actually where the negative air pressure pulls you back if your body doesn't taper or kam-tail well, but on the front you're pretty much pushing through the same cross-sectional area of air regardless.

@howabouthetruth2157 5 лет назад

Their bigger issue is getting control of the car's LAUNCH. Of course body panels would help on the big end, but body panels ain't gonna do a damned thing for getting the car to hook up & launch the way they want it to. If ya don't have the car dialed in for the first half of the track.........it's highly doubtful you're going to make up for it at the big end. That dude just broke a record, first 4 second stick shift car in the 1/8th mile........and they are racing 1/4 mile. Body panels at this time are NOT "the answer" for that, lol.
