Default Slowhawk and Boosted LT5 = FAIL

Both make it to the semi finals in front of a packed house , win their race and break out. Never before have I seen all 4 cars in the semi final eliminated with break outs in 2 separate classes. I so wanted to see you guys race in the final.

Anthony - Takes out the top dog psyching him out at the tree then -- gotta think that .36 felt just a little too fast going down the track

Good job Don you got that thing dialed dead on yesterday unfortunately the temp dropped about 15 degrees in an hour.

Don took me out in the 2nd round by cutting an .050 light to my .121 and kept a nose on me all the way down the track. Talk about 2 evenly matched cars.

Great day of racing yesterday. Perfect weather even if the DA ranged from about 2700 - about 700. We had a great time yesterday. After watching the NITRO funny cars and jets even the pro mod cars seemed slow running only 206 mph. Cant wait to do it agaiin next weekend. Also big thanks to Anthony and his Dad for feeding the whole crew --- much appreciated.

Hahahaha love the title!

The whole way home all i could think of was that i should have lifted and let that damn nova blow by me!! It was an aweosme time racing and this makes two races in a row where i was able to bring the car home and not have to fix it!

See you guys again soon, i probably won't make next weekend, but i'll be there for the race on the 27th.

I won some money on Slowhawk

I had a blast yesterday, we stayed for the whole event and was able to grudge match our 2 mustangs. The green car took the victory with a 9.60 but the little blue notch that could pulled off an amazing 9.72@137 with just a 306 and a S trim. Awesome night. Those ******* nitro funny cars are insane. We stood right behind them and I swear they shook my skeleton. ******* insane.

All in all I think I made $43 betting on races

Damn.. sounds like I missed a great time.. I was at a party in Waltham, on my way home around midnight I saw a bunch of cars on trailers heading down 95 South...

Clutch has about 190 miles more to go until I hit the 500 break in miles! Then I will be at the track maybe I can get it ready for next weekend!

Please excuse the ignorance on the breakout rule,but if both cars run under its a double breakout, doesnt the car that breaks out the least on their index go into the next round,i dont understand that why both cars get not to go to the next round, and where does the money go only to the winner?
Are the tracks making the rules up as they go?
