3 days,3 races,2 different drivers (70 pounds difference) 1 time trial only all weekend, and 8 passes between 6.04 and 6.07 ET. I raced on Friday and Matt drove Saturday and Sunday. I can finally say I was the better driver on this weekend as he struggled with lights in the .020's and my worse of three rounds being a .014. Car in air temps of 88-92 degrees and some crazy high track temps averaged in the 1.27's 60 foot times. Here are several videos I had a chance to take while he was driving. https://youtu.be/wdHkXhboeIshttps://youtu.be/qqCQkk4AIkUhttps://youtu.be/n4whm1qNZkg

Smooth running car consistent. Was that a club event or? I see no people watching. I didn’t hear the total car counts but probably over 600 cars. It took 11 rounds to win the 10,000.00 Most of the spectators are friends and family and gather in the lanes and pits. I sat in the stands probably 2 hours max over 3 days in the evening

Thats awesome there.
Sucks more just dont goto watch. Whats it cost for a spectator to get in? 40.00 for a weekend pass for a spectator . Not sure about one day. 149.00 to race in three 10,000.00 races.

Car looks good as always.
It's tough to race in that kind of heat but we racers are a "special" breed...lol.
We'll be at Norwalk next week. Hopefully will be cooler by then. Thanks dustergirl. We have two points races at keystone this weekend then I head for dragway 42 the following Wednesday. 10,000.00 Thursday and the three 20,000.00 races Friday Saturday Sunday

Looking good, Got a love a small block on Alcohol .
Al I haven’t had the hood off that car since I changed oil around three weeks ago. Add fuel and go. Just bought another 55 gallon last night for 160.00 so I’m ready for the upcoming races.
