Two lbs of ice cream

Tim helmick over Rick Jacobs in final of nss Saturday night

They are using "True Start" timing system this weekend.

I got to go and crew for 2 guys in Big Dog. I think all I said this weekend was WOW. There was so many totally awesome kick butt Mopars. I met DVW and his son, saw some old friends from Indiana and had a totally great time. I had an ice cream all 3 days, found some deals in the swap meet and cooked out chicken and pork chops. Hope everyone had a safe trip home. Birdtracker

and I like it!

congrats to jim guy on his win over tim helmick on sundays nss race.

Made 20 passes for the 3 day weekend! Between NSS and 11.50 Shoot out

alright! jim I am glad to see you won after beating me. saw you in the lane as we were leaving and honked the horn.

Congrats to Duster Girl 340
That girl can drive!!!!!
Not sure what happened to her car but she didnt make the call for the semi's in 11.50. Must have broke.
She was mowing the tree down.

What a great weekend!! Was really nice seeing all my old racing buds!! And I won 2nd place in the car show to boot!

Thank you sir!! I absolutely loved your 11.50 class, most fun class I've ever raced in. It was nice meeting you too, thanks for coming over and saying hi to my husband and I.

Footbraking off the pro tree was not easy, but I figured it out pretty quick. Lights were .055, .046. 011, .071, .071, .062 in the index class.

Got to the semi finals in 11.50 while hot lapping between 2 classes, index and trophy class where I was also going rounds.

I got the bye run to the finals in trophy and the car wouldn't start in our pit. The battery went completely dead with all the start ups and shut downs. It had been sputtering down the big end all weekend, still running the number, but found out later the battery had a dead cell in it. The MSD didn't like the low voltage, which caused the sputtering.

Just ran out of time to get it charged since the classes were going so fast at that time. Plus with the dead cell it wasn't happy anyway.

Still happy with how well I did in two classes! Especially with going back and forth between full and pro tree within minutes! LOL

Hope you have the 11.50 next year!

Weather was great all weekend! Except during the gambler's race which I didn't enter anyway because I had already made 6 passes that day. Nice and cool at night for sleeping too, in our uninsulated enclosed trailer, lol.

Nice hanging out with mr340 and his wheelstanding Challenger, who was also a badass and ran in three classes.

Aso nice seeing dvw and getting a hug from him and meeting his son who broke parts all over the starting line (almost got video of it but my ipod went dead!)

Wasn't nice losing to Lonnie Smith in the first round of Sportsman with my worst light of the weekend that I saved just for him. LOL!

Finally met Rick (sunroofgtx) in the swap meet area, awesome dude.

And the Flying Dartman is a hoot! He went to the finals in 11.50 and helped us out with our car too.

It was nice having my own cheering section during the 11.50 and trophy classes from various Moparts members, thanks guys!

Well done! Any pics?

I have a few pictures and some video! I'll upload them later today!

Assuming i am still breathing next year, 11.50 is a go for Norwalk 2018.
I didnt find enough steam to run the class( best of weekend was 11.58) but i did go up for second time trial in 11.50 Fri and stunk it up with a .170 light.
I figured between not being able to push anybody out and needing some work on the tree people like Duster Girl would have chopped me up and made sandwich meat out of me so i spectated.

Like to have seen more car count, but considering it was the first go round, quite happy.
Next year, after talking with Josh, we will move the race somewhere else in the program.
To either Fri night, right before 10.0 on Saturday, or to Sunday.

When the time comes i will start a thread to get peoples thoughts regards that. Also had a couple people ask about making it to where you can run a trans brake. That isnt happening, it will stay off the foot like it is.

I'm so glad! I don't need no stinkin' trans brake! So glad you are doing this class again! Thanks for the cash too. LOL.
