Went to Maryland International Raceway this weekend to race in the Import vs. Domestic Wild Street Event.
The 16 car field had a cut of 9.35? & no.1 qualifer when 8.37 (A friggen Honda)

Here's the run down of my weekend

Qualified no. 2 with a 8.641@ 152.06


NO.1 Qualifer was a Honda 8.37@178? (which is who I ran in the finals)

Before I go any farther I KNOW MY LIGHTS SUCKEDand cost me the big time

RD 1 of Eliminations 8.779@ 143.73 (lifted)


RD 2 of Eliminations (I had a bye run)

RD 3 of Eliminations (Semi finals) 8.619@ 154.28 - 1.258 60'


RD 4 FINALS 8.46@ 155.44- 1.220 60'- 132.05 1/8 mph
Just a hand written slip from the tower, they wouldn't give me the (WIN) slip. :bs


Re- run of the Finals 8.501@155.15 - 1.207 60'


Yes I said re-run of the Final
My opponent pre-stages, I pre-stage, then I stage, my opponent stages, the lights drop and I go, 8.46 later I get the win light.
(The rest is hear say)
At the booth I was told there will be a re-run because the starter raised his hand up at my opponent (between fully staged & the lights dropping on a .400 tree) because he heard or though ? my opponent had a leak. Was that my problem?
Not sure if he broke the beams, I think he did. I do know I rushed him staging right away (my plan) and he didn't built his boost up 100%

Anyway after a short cool down (and protest), we race again and I lose by .006
As I said, the tree cost me :ack:

It was a good weekend all n' all, I broke the Corvette IRS Supercharger record & Corvette IRS 60' record.

ECS rocks :partyon:

The ET is nuts, but a 1.20 60' is just insane for an IRS C5.

That was a heads up class, if it could of ran 7's, he would have... with .006 as the margin of victory, I'm not hearing otherwise.

We were fully stagged on a .400 tree, the starter got word through his head set that the Honda was leaking fluid. The starter jumped out in front of the Honda and stopped it before the lights dropped. They didn't try to stop me, I made a full pass (ran 8.46) and got the win light. Then MIR says we have to do a re-run because the starter shouldn't have stopped the race because there was NO leak. I protested that it wasn't my problem, but MIR said it was a bad call by the starter crew & I had to re-run.
I got a 15 min. cool down & we raced again, which I lost. I posted a thread on Yellow Bullet asking if that was fair.

Turns out MIR omitted in that thread there WAS a water leak from the Honda but they're saying it wasn't big enough for a DQ. (but it was big enough to stop the race?)
Bottom line IMO the first run was a race, the Honda should have been DQ'ed.
Wish I had thought to insist for the Honda make a full pass before the re-run, because he broke at the end of the re-run.

The Vid of the first Race? The Honda crew did a great job on the re-run vid, but I doubt we'll ever see the vid of the leak.
