Air looks good today. When the outside temps are below 60 degrees today, it should be negative DA conditions.

Just back from Btown, no records for me. The conditions were good, but I couldn't make it work tonight. I can say someone got a new PB, and TwoFast4Lv is bumped from the top 5.

On 4 runs I got 2 botched burnouts and 2 missed shifts. These were the best runs, where I hit the shifts, but no burnout caused pathetic 60 foots. I did get sent to Tech and warned for no NHRA license over 135mph. heh

1.814, 7.014@105.82, 10.636@137.55
1.825, 7.057@107.42, 10.710@136.32

One run I hit a 1.604 60 foot, that's my best ever but I missed a gear.

The best part was meeting everyone and hanging out, and not breaking any parts. I am sorry to Don for not stopping over to talk, when you were parked right next to me. I totally didn't recognize your car, and found out later that you were NWDragracer.

well,
at least you'll be at the track once this year


I'll bet some people could help keep an eye on the little terror while you're staged and racing

I'd offer to help with him, but I'm planning on being staged with you

No sweat Chris. I should have introduced myself.

I took one very easy shakedown pass and only left one part on the track - the top to my breather tank. With a half throttle launch and lifting before the 60' mark, it went 1.61 in the 60'. The good news is that it shifted all 3 gears, the T-brake worked, the linelock worked and it went straight and didn't hit the wall.

I have a few thing that I know need to be addressed before a full pass.
  1. The front suspension was sitting on the bump stops - Fixed
  2. Final valve adjustment - I'll do that after tech this morning.
  3. The belts need to be adjusted. I almost couldn't latch them.
Oh yeah, Rich Carlson was there taking pictures so I did a "photographic" burnout.

Let's race!
