Finally hit the track for the first time after sitting out most of the 2016 race season because of sickness. Been trying to get myself back in shape walking 3 miles a day and keeping busier at home. 2 time trials on Friday night had the Duster running a 6.196@110.89 mph 9.775@136.12 mph and a 6.194@110.70 mph 9.776@9.77 mph. Saturdays race was a 1/8 mile race so on my time trials it ran 6.193@110.97 mph and a 6.180@111.17 mph. I lost 1st round with the Duster running a 6.178@110.95 but the driver was slightly sleeping compared to my opponents .011 light. I won the buy back with a 6.185@110.81 mph but I turned on the red-light the next round with the duster picking up .02 in the 60 foot and running a 6.146@111.14 mph pass. It felt great hitting the track again and hopefully I can get in the groove again soon.

Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

What are you racing.. top bulb or bottom  Top bulb (box class). My lights were real good test Friday but after the long week of getting ready I was dragging on Saturday. I never got home Friday night and to bed till 1am and I drove up to the track 3 hours early to lay out and mount 4 pieces of diamond plates under my tires in my new trailer. Been kinda busting butt getting my new trailer ready for the race season. Like a ding-bat I adjusted my delay box to compensate for being tired and that bit me in the butt. LOL

Glad to see you got out again.  Thanks and boy did it feel good getting out. Tired after 2 days but a good tired. LOL Nice !! Car seems very consistant, can go some rounds if it stays like that. I hope so. I've never been the best on the top end but my lights usually are pretty descent. Just gotta hit the track now.

Not a bad day for an old fart!!! Not bad at all. Sure beats working for a living but I'm sure glad I don't have to count on my winnings to eat. I would starve to death.

Good to see you are healthy and back at the track. Best of luck. The reaction times will come back. Heck I was away for 10 yrs. It took me the whole season last yr to start getting good lights again. lol
Ok
