I've made 184 passes in my Dart this year, and 10 passes in my dads Challenger.
Still a few race dates on the calendar so expect to be in the 225+ range when the car goes away for winter. Pretty mild year for me.

I am at a sad 21 right now. I did 8 at TNT a few weeks before drag week and then 13 on drag week. I hope to end up with at least 40 before the track closes this year.

Not enough, maybe 10. I was going to race it at the Mopar Nats but had just installed the dana the week before. It had a bad driveline vibration (wasn't there before)and after have Clay Kossuth drive the car he recommended not running it till I figured that out. Turned out that the pinion angle was 10 degrees down. That's fixed now and I was hoping to take it to Gateway tomorrow night for test and tune to see if I'm getting everything dialed in. That ain't gonna happen, NHRA booked the day even though they don't show anything going on that day.  The AAA Insurance NHRA Midwest Nationals is going on there this weekend. I guess it's gonna be next Wednesday. (hopefully)
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I had 167 last year in just the race car, and I know over 100 this year so far, plus my Cuda, so I have a few...Would be more if stuff would stop breaking.
Forgot to mention two 1st Place wins, and still #1 in points...If I do ok this weekend and end the season out in front, I will have lead the points from start to finish...But its really close, and in racing, anything can happen.

That would take me about 8 years!!!
Do you live AT the track???

FOUR! And this is the most in about 30 years !  The car is all new front to rear and I am not at all used to it.  But, it is GREAT to be back!  Here is a really bad video of pass #4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIM_QJe2ofg&feature=em-share_video_userMark

125 so far. I haven't started the car since july 14 due to health reasons though. Might be done for the season  . Normally, around 300 passes per season. Brian

Not enough to know what the heck I'm doing....

150 last year. Only 40 this year due to health. I've got cataracts and have a hard time seeing in low light conditions. We race in the evening here and I jut didn't feel safe for my self and the driver in the lane. The other problem is I'm being treated for prostrate cancer. Hopefully every thing will be fixed next year and it's full speed ahead again. Dang getting old really sucks!
Know the feeling Russ. I had big plans for this season. Feb 6 my 94 year old mother fell, broke her hip. She had some dementia going on before the operation/anesthisia and it only got worse after. Taking care of her and trying to work in the shop was futile. My sister had vacation plans already paid for before this started,,,so she was gone for quite awhile and unable to help with the care. I got out to race May 4. May 7 I had pneumonia for 3 weeks+. Continued taking care of Mom, turned down 9 motor jobs due to not having time to do them. Got out to race one more time. Then I have been having trouble with my right hip hurting to beat he!!. Had my left hip replaced in '94. Went for preliminary tests for my right hip to be replaced Nov 5. Stress test went 'bad'...have an A-fib problem now. Waiting on the doctors to decide "if/when" the hip will get worked on..!! All I know is, I'm going to try to go racing this weekend and as many as I can before the Nov 5 deadline!!  YOU ARE RIGHT..!!..it does suck to get old.
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

ZERO unfortunately dewinterized the car, installed a new delay box and there it sits between lack of interest, working on other people's race cars and doing work in the shop i just haven't got out. Rick just called and is in on a rental friday so we can try to find out what's wrong with his car. i might take that for a ride, i need to make three laps to crossgrade my license as for Al's comment Quote:

there isn't enough gasoline in the world for me to figure out what i'm doing
