Default Red rocket going rounds

Congrats Don for making it to the final -- even if they didnt let you race. Only in NH can you get a sunburn and hypothermia the same day.

some pics from yesterday

Thanks Ted. Ya they suck. I won the semifinals but broke out with a 11.46 to the other persons 11.2. When you break out your disqualified.

Funny thing is,the other person was running 11.53 to 11.56 every other round going all out.So I figured getting 1 wheel on them would win.It didn't.LOL

The red Rocket was a 11.4 car all day but had to let off to run 11.5's. Best was a 11.42 at 118mph.

Yes,both of us.I won the round but the rule book says if you run under the class you get DQ'd too.

On the last race I heard both cars in the final ran under 11.5.Wonder if they both got DQ'd?

It was a Hell of a time racing with Don and Ted. It was a great day in general and a blast to join you guys as well as Vinny and Anthony in the Real Street event... Glad I could donate my money even though it went to the WRONG guy!
That money was all Don's for sure and I am glad that the Camaro was also DQ'd for running 11.28 against your 11.46. I was told all day the fastest that car ever went was 11.50 on the bottle, so either the cold air that came in helped "that" much or they changed the jets to go a tad faster and just let out at the end.. since I had to let out twice just so she could catch up on our precious race....

See you guys at the Dyno Day then at the next RS race!

It was BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

Gave the guy a bye in the finals, who the hell does that. Stupid rules. I'm contesting them cause they need to be consistent. How the hell does the 10.50 class guys break out in the final but the guy still wins for being the least.

How about the guy who broke out on a bye run and they dqed him!!!!!

I love how the winner of the 10.50 class has a throttle stop and no passenger seat too.

Speedy you suck, you lost to a girl...Don had to do the dirty work, poor guy cost him the finals.

Unfortunately so, but I did my best to keep the race close and not break out because that run I certainly would have big time! It was fitting to get beat by a girl since she had a broad-o-matic and a baby bottle in the trunk! Heh... Not to mention I had to let off the throttle twice to keep it close.
Had I known I came off the line so strong I would have run it out the back door and went deep 11's!
