Thanks Jay!! I wanted to swing by your trailer all weekend but I never got a chance too. I am working on Getting videos to my laptop and edited. I will make a full post about it late tonight. It was a blast of a weekend for my first outing to any of the LSX events

Well after wanting to attend one of the LSX races for the last couple years I was finally able to make the Trip to the Chevy High performance Nationals at Atlanta Drag way. It was a 1275 mile round trip from my house in Pa to Commerce Ga.

We made the trip down Thursday and got into the track Friday AM. Friday was a testing session and I got 4 passes in. The track conditions were not that great. Starting line prep was crappy. I managed a best of 9.39 @ 149.

Saturday we got into the track early and I was able to make 1 hit before the True street Drive. I did manage to run a 9.10@153

Then it came time for the true Street 30 mile drive followed by the 3 back to back passes.





We ended up with about an hour of cool down time after the cruise before making out passes. All 3 passes were made within 30 min and they had us come back down the road in front of the grand stands. I made my 3 passes with a 9.4 average. I had a .4 average over the next closest racer. My 3 passes are as follows

1st 9.220@153 1.565 60'
2nd 9.521@153 1.803 60' Spun
3rd 9.559@152 1.813 60' Spun again

The track was hard to get down all weekend. The closest person to me went a 9.288 on his first pass but spun bad his second 2 passes and went 10.0 and 10.2 making his average 9.8.




My Wally


















Over all I had a great Trip and look forward to being able to make it to another LSX race
