Default new personal best

we took the car out for the first race of the year Friday night 5/6.
We dynoed the engine on Wednesday thrashed all day Thursday to make the first race and boy was it worth it all. previous P.B. was 9.36 @ 145
First qualifier we went easy and ran 9.50 @ 149 .
second qualifier we leaned on it a little and the driver (me) went first to third and we ripped off a 9.03 @ 152 ..third qualifier I was able to hit my shifts and we ran a 8.92 @ 152 qualifying # 2 in the field .we ended up going out in the semi's with a 8.98 to a winning 8.94 ...but boy what a great night
Have to thank Chris Holbrook , Holbrook Racing Engines for the horsepower !
