SON OF A B****!!!!!!! Went to the track tonight. My car wasn't hooking consistantly.
It spun last time I went a few weeks ago my last 3 rnds and I missed going to the semi's because of traction prob.
Here's my run breakdown.
7.88 1.650 60ft trial
7.97 1.728 60ft trial
7.87 1.639 60ft trial
Dialed a 7.86
7.97 1.628 60ft, 1st rnd braked at top end
7.87 1.653 60ft, 2nd rnd .000 REACTION!!! .018 pkg
8.07 1.802 60ft, 3rd rnd - lost
Dialed 8.04
8.11 1.775 60ft, 4th rnd - let off top end
8.05 1.634 60ft, 5th rnd - I played catch-up and just barely missed breaking out.
I'm running a 6.66 car in the Qtr-finals. I'm getting ready to pull into the box and was going to tell the stager to have them change my dial back to a 7.86 but said f**k it and left it at a 8.04.
7.89 1.619 60ft .007 RT hard on the brakes. I tree'd this guy BAD.
That .007 rt would've given me the Bi-run in the semi's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I just can't get a fuggin break.
10" rims and 11.5" slicks next year for sure.
I feel sick I'm so pissed off.

Re: SON OF A B****!!!!!!! Rick,
Keep your head up. This type of thing has happened to me many of times. Oh well, that drag racing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Slicks will help out big time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Keep racing, it will only make you better or bitter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
Good luck to ya. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

Re: SON OF A B****!!!!!!! Thanks Coach.
I'm still pissed, but I'm over it.
I've gone out in the Qtr-finals the last 4 times I've raced. It's getting a bit discouraging for the rest of the year.
I'm going to run every week next year with slicks and go for the points championship. I totally OWNED the points leader last night. I was playing with him from half track. I've won 3 out of 4 against him this year.
Next year just can't get here fast enough. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
