Looking for Drivability on a Slick Track?

Matt Fink has a secret, so don’t tell anyone.  This is his Big Block Dirt Modified #15 that won the feature May 26 at Fulton Speedway, New York – a 3/8 mile dirt oval that will changes from tacky to slick in no time as the summer days get hotter.  These beasts make 800-900 horsepower that can easily overpower a dry slick track, and the question is:  how does one keep it hooked up?  One answer lies in the driver’s hands and the crew chief’s head, and the other comes from VDL:  Matt runs our Holley 750 with the venturis bored out to 1.450.  This big-bore carburetor creates the power comparable to a 950 cfm carburetor, but it maintains the drivability of the 750.  Drivability must be a southern Alabama word because it “ain’t” in the dictionary, but to us it means throttle response that is drivable, controllable, and winable!

Matt used it all that last Saturday in May to take his first feature win, and he did it by .122 seconds!  Wish we were there to have seen that!  Congratulations!
