Default This is how we roll in Texas!




This was Saturday, May 19. We were running our fourth points race of the season. We got lucky and made it to the semis. We lost running a 10.20 with a 0 on a 10.20 dial. We cut a .012 light to his .000 light on a 11.76 with a 0 on a 11.75 dial. Pretty close footbrake racin.

We set a personal best though, 10.20 with a 0 @ 129.64 mph (previous best was a 10.27 with an 8 at 131.09 mph). The fastest mph of the eleven rounds of racin was 131.41 mph.

The full run was as follows;
RT .012
60ft 1.349
330 4.133
1/8 mile 6.456
mph 105.83
1000 8.479
1/4 mile 10.200
mph 129.64

DA 1605, temp 67.9, humidity 70%, BP 29.44

I want to thank LME for the great motor and all of your support, Madman/Thunder Racing for all your support, and last but not least my wonderful wife "FEAR".

Coach
