Default Won My First Event!!
Last Friday night at San Antonio raceway, SanantonioFbody went up against TexasFbody (Austin). Lots of very quick cars showed up but luck was on my side. I outlasted the field with my first event win!
Here are a few times
12.298 on a 12.29 dial 1.69 60'
12.297 on a 12.28 dial 1.70 60' (letting off)
12.283 on a 12.28 dial 1.69 60'

My little LT1 my not be the fastest but it sure is consistant. LE2 heads coming soon. 11s here I come. I've had my share of round wins but never an event win. Yaaay for me!

Its alot of fun to drive. You can almost call the number its gonna run. No big suprises on the big end. For a while I had too much power for the chassy. Now I have too much chassy for the power. Hopefully by next spring I can improve he car by .4 or so. In the mean time, more fun to be had at the track!!

Thanks Caveman. I guess I'll never win the lotto now. I already used up all of my luck! I used to live in O town for a while. If you see a friend of mine at the track say hi to him for me. His name is Todd. He runs a red 72 Chevelle that runs 10s on spray.
