I just back from points night at the track I finished in 3rd =( Kinda of disappointed because the car in front of me leaked coolant or something and the track officials didn't notice it. Right after I launched about 10 feet out my car gets sideways on me. I stayed in it and recovered but I ran whole tenth off my dial-in. The 3 previous runs the car ran exactly on the #. I got a measly $100 for 3rd place but I did go 6 rounds and atleast got some points. I should be in 4th or 5th in points still. The guy that was in 2nd in points won tonight, so he's way out in the lead. And thats the guy I lost to when I spun, I wanted to put him on the trailer SOO bad! I redlighted to him a few races go, that guy is like my nemesis..Grrrrr...
Anyway its like 4:00 am time to get some sleep.
Lata All!

I had a pretty uneventful day. Car ran real good and real bad. What I mean by that is the car ran flawless up until just past the 1000' or about 7300 rpm and it started breaking up. Did the same thing on 4 runs no matter what I did to remedy the problem. The experts are working out the glitch and we will get it fixed up soon I hope.
+1,800 DA (TAG)
3,300 race weight
60'............1.36 (foot brake)
330...........4.048
1/8............6.30
mph...........108.53
1000..........8.27
1/4............10.01
mph...........123.81
Thats right 123.81 because as soon as it started to break up I let up and my 4.86 gears slowed me down like right now. Remaining 3 runs about the same with a best of 131.5? mph letting up off the throttle and a worst of 10.08 et not hooking with a 1.48 60'. Bummer but It will get worked out.

God I can't wait. Living up North really has some serious draw backs.
It wasn't all that long ago, we all would be jumping up and down at an 11 second run. Now that is almost an everyday thing.
A lot of really great times.
Tom 10.oh's on your first runs. That beast is going to be nasty when you totally get it work out.
Coach read your other trend. Very nice weekend.
Only 3 more weekends to wait
