Went to HRP for the 1st points race of the year. Weather was in question but we got the race in.
Dad did pretty good in his 01 Z/28. He lost in the 3rd round. He red lighted away and 10.94 @ 121 mph, race weight of 3535. He is getting the hang of driving his new car. In the 5 runs down the track he ran 5-6.97's in the 1/8 mile in a row. Talk about a consistant race car. We just need to get him more seat time.
My race went pretty good until the 4th round. I got drilled with a .001 light to my .031(slowest light of the night). I ran a 10.29 with a 2 on a 10.29 dial in to his 11.13 on a 11.11 dial in. I just couldn't catch him at the top end. We had a chance at this race. The car was running the number and I was hitting the tree. A .001 light will get ya most of the time. Oh well thats bracket racing.
Here is the slip of my new best;
RT .031
60 1.348
330 4.148
1/8 6.503
mph 104.31
1000 8.555
1/4 10.292
mph 129.39
Not to bad for a LS1 H/C 346 with a race weight of 3212.
I would like to think my wife for letting me race. Madman for all the help at the race. Thunder Racing for one hell of a race motor.
Next race report March 19th. We are racing a 6.70 index race.

Coach- Congrats on the new 1/4 mile runs. Those are awesome numbers. Killer 60 fts , ET and MPH from a 346 H/C set up.
That's a hard light to beat. Sometimes luck just takes over and it's not always in our favor.
Looking at those 60fts, Madman must have worked his magic again. Very impressive.
I leaned on Brian the other day for some suspension 101 and he guided me in a good direction. I knew something was wrong when I was ripping the new 28 inch drag slicks at the hit. The new rear drag shocks will be here soon and the rest of the suspension should be very close now. He is a good man.
See ya at the races!
