Had a good time at the Pinks all-out thing..
No new bests, ran a 9.3x and a 9.2x @ 144. It was cold out, (good) but low barometer and nasty headwind (bad) so I never really got a good run since it took so long between passes everything got cold lol.
Didnt get picked for the 16 finalists though, they chose 10.50 cars, still a great time and would do it again. HotcopperZ on the board (neighbor of mine) did make it in with his great looking 94 Z28. But a chevy powered mustang ended up winning it.
Couple passes on video, first was against a 9.50 mustang that tree'd me hard (they dropped the tree the second I turned the bottom bub on, I had no idea where the staging beams were) but I almost got him (9.2X to his 9.5x) so it was a cool race. Second pass is the 'arm drop' qualifying pass, they turn the clocks off for that one.

I would do it again, it was pretty cool and kind of reminded me of the 'old days' of drag racing. All kinds of different cars, seen a lot of people helping out, borrowing parts etc, lot of guys camping out having a good time. Most 'big time' events these days are filled with guys that their pit vehicles cost more then my race car and everyone is walking around looking they want to kick someone's *** if you ask them what time it is lol.
Wish it was 15 degrees warmer but still had a good time, hoping I'll be able to feel my ears in a few more days
