The wife and I was out of town most of the week on business. We got home Friday afternoon and were going to load up and head to CFR for the night of fire. The sky didn't look too good so I checked the radar and we had some nasty storms coming in. So we stayed home and was going to leave early in the morning...It was still raining so we got a late start. We get to the track and I missed my first TT.. The weather was miserable...Hot and humid.the DA was around 3000. Get a TT in and run a 10.57. I let my grandson dial the car...It is important that he is part of a team effort and continues to learn the sport! He puts a 10.57 on the dial board and I get paired with a 67 Camaro dialed 11.79. Here is the incrementals.. Me Him RT .060 .034 60' 1.436 1.921 330 4.270 5.172 1/8 6.691 7.748 mph 101.83 96.55 1000 8.781 9.960 1/4 10.565 11.836 mph 125.13 120.27 I crossed the line first at .0259,his MOV was .0519. So I gave away an easy win...We did have a good time and I met Hemidup(Jerry) and Oldracer(Russ)...Two very nice guys! I also saw Ralph Rehberger on the starting line but couldn't find him later. Out of all of the cars running there The N/SS were my favorites! I also cut a slick down...Don't know how bad it is ..I will check it later today..

Ted. Nice seeing you again. Racing started at 6pm on Fri and we were rained out by 7pm. Got one pass in and the DA was 4012' for that particular pass. The DA on Sat was as low as 3600 and as high as 3900. yuk! Went red in the 2nd round and was home by 1am.

Is the Grandson blaming the driver ? You may have taught him too well. Kidding........just kidding. I wanted to get down there too , but this whole work thing is complicating my life beyond belief. To the point of waking up in Rolla , Mo today and wondering how I got there. Eddyville has a similar deal coming up and I have promised myself to make that one. Maybe both of our lucks will change. Great to see you setting the hook for the future though........how long before the kid is making laps ?

Thanks,guys! Jeff...I feel your pain!! I have had a couple of -.001 and -.002 reds in different races this year. Seems like I use up my good lights in time trials! Hope you get your ignition issues figured out! Steeldust..We always have a great time at the track.. Mayor Dave...Are you gonna race that truck! That thing is too cool! I bet when you pop the hood,people poop their pants when they see that big hemi! I have to get a tube ordered and I am going out again next weekend for points. I ain't going down without a fight!!
