I drew the bye in the first round, then lost to Dan VanHorn's rocketship twin turbo hellcat in the semifinal. Tony outran Leon Hudson in the other semifinal. I ran a new best 1/8 mile ET...it's a N/T race, not sure if Tony or anyone else cares if I say what I ran. I don't do any N/T racing, so I don't mind sharing timeslips. I tried travel limiters on the front of my car and it didn't like it at all. It would move about 10 feet and then blow the tires off. Removed the limiters and played w/ the progressive...hitting it slightly harder than before. This resulted in a new best by almost a tenth in the 1/8.
I will say that one one test pass, like a dummy, I forgot to activate the nitrous system and made an all motor pass. It went 6.20 at 112 mph w/ a sluggish 1.44 sixty foot. The tight nitrous converter and 3.54 gear don't really yield a great 60', lol.
Here are a few pics.

Wish I could have made it there. Chip my friend, I'm sure it was a little 'bittersweet' for you as I know you were thinking of your Dad and wishing he was there, but I'm sure he was. I think the first time I met you and your family was at a Mopars at the Rock event.

I think the first time I met you and your family was at a Mopars at the Rock event. Thanks Bobby, it felt different this year for sure. Mopars at the Rock was the first mopar event my dad ever brought me to. That was sometime in the early '90s. Instantly fell in love w/ the KOS cars there. Daddy wanted to go look at the swap meet and I wanted to drool over the Chapman's super bee, Sheila's cuda, Mike Robbins' cuda, Roger Laudy's Duster, etc. It's one of those races/shows that I always go to, I've only missed one or two. I've had so much going on at home lately that I almost didn't go. I figured daddy would be mad at me if I didn't, so...lol. It definitely wasn't the same, but we had a great time.
