My Trip to Atlanta Drag way for the CHP and LSX Challenge True Street Win
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.

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

Not sure what the problem was if it was the heat or what but all outlaw drag radial guys where having problems getting down the track all weekend also. I heard from several people that they made a clean hit first thing in the AM and then couldn't after that

Awesome job! Especially considering how shitty the track was..
That's pretty sorry that for a major event like that and the track/management could not get it prepped... Why even host big events if they're not gonna take care of the patrons?...
Either way, a win is a win! Would have been cool seeing you win the event with some 8 sec slips your ride normally produces.. A REAL street car at that..
