Default Coach DOMINATES

I just have to say CONGRATS to Coach on his win tonite. He cut the tree and ran the number. The boy can drive. He is a killer addition to the Madman/JBZ team.

More info.

Brian what did you guys end up going this "winter". Live up north really sucks this time of year. It was 50+ for the last 3 days. But our track will not even open for another 3 months .

This summer could see some seriously crazy times.

Thanks everyone.

WOW! What a week. 1st my Boys/Girls wrestling teams win the District 23 Texas High School championships and I win the 1st race of the 2005 racing season.

We(My Dad, Madman & I) went out to Lone Star for some TnT and run the heads up 6.70 index class. This class rans on a .400 pro tree. Damn, is it hard to cut a good light with a footbrake car.

Well, after adding weight we got the car to run a damn near perfect run. A 6.707 at 102 mph. We are ready for 1st round.

1st race I killed the guy on the tree. Easy win at the big end. I run a 6.79 to his 6.74

2nd round. WOW! what a race at the starting line. We both staged and the timing system hit a very fast light. We were both late but I somehow pulled off a better light and shut the car down at the big end(didn't want to breakout. I run a 6.71 to his breakout 6.64

3rd round. Cut a good light this round and again shut the car down at the big end. I run 6.74 to his 6.80.

Final round. Madman and I asked the guy if he wanted to split the prize money 60% to the winner, 40% to the runner up. He said, lets run "Winner take all". We said. "Hell Yea lets race".

The final was won on the tree folks. I cut a .060 light to his .565. At the big end I ran a 6.79 to his 6.80. This index series puts a $100.00 bounty on the last race winner. It was really sweet to get the bounty money(extra $100.00) on the other guy in the final. Now, the next race I will have a $100.00 bounty on me. 1st person to put me out of the race gets $100.00. This is COOL!

I want to thank My wonderful wife, Madman/JBZ race cars, My Dad and Thunder Racing for all your help. I couldn't do this without ya'll.

Coach

Tim, how about posting up a schedule of racing events in the TX forum. I'd like to attend more local events this year. My '69 runs 6.70s pretty consistently too.

We have gotten control of the NASA launches. Nothing like a couple pieces of chain and some bolts.
