Thank you to all those that came out last friday for the heads up race!!!! The track was definetly hooking up. Next Event is June 20th, which is the same night as the Midnight Madness. The 10.5 cars start throwing down at 7:00 PM... BE THERE!
Here is the official recap of the first night's events.
Heads Up Event #1 Recap
The debut Small Tire Heads Up Challenge race at Eddyville Raceway Park was a great success with some incredibly close races between the field of competitors. Seven cars entered the no-holds barred Friday night rumble, but in the end it was #3 qualifier Mike Miller in his fox-body Mustang who walked away the victor.
In round 1 of qualifying John Puckett laid down a 5.99 pass in his nitrous assisted small block Mercury Capri, which proved to be the fastest pass in two rounds of qualifying, granting Puckett the number one qualifying position, first round bye, and an hour of dyno time from Lund Motors in Waukee, Iowa.
In the first round of eliminations #3 qualified Mike Miller faced off with #6 qualified Bob Lund. While both cars ran nearly identical 104 mph through the traps, it was Miller’s suspension which proved the difference, netting him a 6.62 to Bob’s 7.10. The highlight of round one came when #5 qualifier Chris Lund faced off against #2 Rob McGee. Lund, who had ran a best of 7.12 in qualifying, found the sweet spot in the setup and blistered the track with a 5.67 at 128 mph and advanced to the second round. RJ Landcaster found some extra power after qualifying, but his 7.34 wasn’t quite enough for Dan Fredregill’s Malibu, the lone Chevy in the field.
Second round could best be described as a David vs. Goliath battle, and proved that the fastest cars in the field don’t always win. Mike Miller faced off with John Puckett who had laid down three previous passes in the 5.9 and 6.0 range. Puckett was bitten by the nitrous back-fire bug as the tree came down and Miller was able to capture the round win. Chris Lund who still had the crowd wowed with his previous 5.67 pass had problems staging his Mustang and went red against Dan Fredregill’s Malibu.
In the final it was Mike Miller facing off with Dan Fredregill. The two cars qualified just .02 seconds apart in the #3 and #4 positions, respectively. However, no-one could have guessed how close the finish really would have been. Mike clicked off the timers at 6.37 and Dan at a 6.27, but Mike used a .08 reaction time to Fredregill’s .19 to win on a holeshot. The margin of victory at the stripe was .004 seconds!
A huge thank-you goes out to all of the racers and spectators who came out in support of this event, as well as Eddyville Raceway for giving heads up racing a new breath of life in the area, and Lund Motors in Waukee for the #1 qualifier dyno time award, which will be a feature of each event in the series this summer.
The next race will be held prior to the Midnight Madness Event on June 20th and is sure to be even more exciting! All competitors are invited to stay and make passes during the Midnight Madness event. Spectators are also invited to stay and enjoy some late night grudge racing action!

Guys the frequent the Eddyville raceway on occasion:
do any of you happen to have some sort of LS tuning package that will allow me to just disable VATS on a project I am working on? I am going to be getting a tuning package myself when the monies allow, but I want to get my car rolling around

Well, I will look at showing today, but I have a bit of a problem....
3 weeks ago I had my car not start on me. Had power and everything but the starter never clicked. Finally got it started and drove it back home. Tore into it and redid my connections to the starter and tightened my ground from my battery to my block (it was loose).
It didnt start for me this morning, same symptoms. Either I have another bad connection, or the same connection is bad, or maybe my solinoild is bad? Any suggestions anyone?
Im in my damn appartment parking, at a slant.... Now I got to get lucky and get her started again...... ****!
