New accomplishment I dragged trailer down south this past Saturday to Bradenton Motorsports where they were having a $2500 to win Bracket Bonanza. My main purpose for going was to get on a great track to do some more testing. With the transbrake they wouldn't let me in the No E class and then they cut the race down to the 1/8th mile for all classes. 
Those things were enough for me to make my practice runs and load up.
Made a few new suspension adjustments as directed by Madman and the car was working great. Had the car lined up for my last test run and got paired up with a dragster. Been a long time since I ran a snake and thought this could be fun. It was heads up since we were in the final testing round and the snake left early (-.115) to my .080 light. Can't tell you how friggen awesome it was to be able to run him down and beat him to the 1/8th.
I won't go lookin to test my luck against any of those boys in the future, but I'll take my win this time

Congrats on beating the snake. What did the car run? They wouldn't let you run the no/box class because of your tranz-brake? That is the IHRA/NHRA rule for no box down here in Div. 4.

Congrats on making some passes down a sticky track with the new set-up Eric. Bummer that the times are 
but understandable. Hope you do well in Maryland!

But we're starting to come out of the slow season at work now (hopefully), so I should have her ready!
