Default The Hot Rods results from Thunder Shootout

1st off, I want to say thanks to Thunder for putting on a great event. Ya'll are the best. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

2nd, I want to say thanks to my sponsors; Thunder Racing and Madman racing without ya'll I could not race as much as I do. Thanks for all the help. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />

3rd, Thanks to Nineball for the stickers. I did find a spot for them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

4th, It was great to meet so many people and to put faces with names. LS1tech members are the best. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Now to the racing.

On friday night in time trails, I ran two 11.03's in a row. All the numbers were the same except for the MPH. I lost in round four on friday night. I missed fourth gear and didn't run the number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

As a matter of fact I missed a gear 5 times throught the weekend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I think we have found the problem of missing gears. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

On Saturday, I lost in the 2nd round in the M6 class to Allen Futral. It was a great race until I missed 4th gear and he came flying by me. I had to cut a light because he had run a 10.87 to my 11.08. I cut a .531 light to his .601 but the missed gear did me in. Congarts to Allen on his win. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

In the braket race I went 3 rounds. I loss to Kristi. I broke out with a 11.12 on a 11.17 dail in.

I had a great time racing this weekend. I set a new best of 11.03 and backed it up with another 11.03. The great thing is I cut 1.46 60fts and my weight was 3515 on both runs.

Now the Hot Rod is at Madmans for some major weight reduction. Iam going to try this weekend at HRP to be the 1st LS1 346 Hydralic H/C M6 Hot Rod into the 10's.

Wish me luck. Iam so close its killing me.

Good luck to everyone and see ya at the track.
