What a great pass. You should of seen my Dad and Madman on the starting line doing back flips. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

3rd run

60ft 1.60
330ft 4.50

60ft 1.57
330ft 4.53
1/8 ET 7.00
1/8 MPH 92.82

I lost this round. I had the guy covered even with my bad light but my hand sliped off the shifter going in to 4th gear and he just niped me at the finish line. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I made one more pass just to check out the Hot Rod, to get more seat time and to prove Boo wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

5th and final run of the day.
R/T .512
60ft 1.57
330ft 4.53

We all had a great time racing this weekend. Thanks to my Dad, my family, Madman & Co Racing and Thunder Racing for all your help. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

No racing today(Sunday) I have to do the family thing.

Next week I will be racing at Lone Star Raceway Park. I will TNT on Friday night and race in 2 point races. 1 Saturday and 1 Sunday. Practice and seat time are the key to winning bracket races.

Good luck to everyone no matter what shop you come from.

Excellent! Any Idea what the 6.88 would have been in the quarter? Nice light! I cut a .501 and a .507, only to redlight in the third round last week. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

My Dad said it would be around a 10.83 or so. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

I will run the 1/4 at HRP on the 19th of April in there next bracket race. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I may end up going before then. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Coach

Congrats Coach. That thing is finally back where it belongs. Those numbers are looking great! That's got to be a good feeling huh. I hope to see you at the SBSO. Take care.

Thanks guys. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

The Hot Rod was a blast to drive. I can't wait until this weekend. I will be racing Friday, Saturday & Sunday. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Coach

Congrats!

My 10.82 run was a 6.88 99.XX 1/8th. I guess you could have ran 10.79 @ 126. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> in the 1/4. Just another damn car passing me....cause I can't race. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but I also was running at 1000ft DA.
