Won Real Street 1/8 mile Drag radial last night Racing was @ MIR in Budds Creek Maryland, Real Street is basically run what ya brung outlaw drag radial. Most of the nitrous guys run 632s on 3 stages and we've got plenty of hitters from Stine to Bitzer.
And for last night....
D/A 2150
83 degrees/73% humidity
1st test hit
Car drove right, had to pedal
1.33 60' 5.31 @ 147
1st qualifier - added alittle power
Car drove right again, had to pedal
1.30 60' 5.24 @ 147
2nd qualifier - added alittle power again
Car drove right again - had to pedal
1.28 60' 5.29 @ 147
Eliminations 1st round:
Drew Francis Johnson, ran consistent 4.9s all night, Car went dead straight, treed him on the line and never looked back - needs way more power in the middle
1.30 60' 5.11 @ 148
Semi Finals:
Tough round against Al Marlow that had been running consistent 4.9s all night. We both dropped in, we left together and never saw marlow, apparently marlow spun 30' out.
1.32 60' 5.01 @ 151
Finals:
Was a tough race, lined up, fox was taking his time staging. I rolled in and lit the top bulb as soon as I saw him moving I jumped on the 2 step and dropped in. We left together 1.25 to 1.28 60', I had drove around him by the 330' and out the back. Car still wants more power, it felt like the wheels were 3' in the air 150' out.
1.28 60' 4.97 @ 151
A/F was only in the 9.5-9.6 range down track

Great win. Thats the toughest competition monthly in Drag Radial anywhere in the country. Good job. Time to get that thing even quicker. From that AFR, you definately have room for improvement if you can keep it hooked.
On a side note: Why do you think it was driving to the right?

We changed the control arms over to double adjustable and the driver lower was a 1/2 turn off from being right. We added a 1/2 turn to it and she straightend right up.
