As a rule I show up at the track prepared and generally don't touch the car except for a plug check (jet change if necessary), wheels already torqued so just air pressure check and a general visual once over after the first TT.

Try to get as many TT's in as possible and wait for class call With fuel toped off and plenty of air in the tires and adjust in the lanes.

If anybody needs help I'm available after first round

Well as you know first time we made it was a couple of weeks ago.

I think we were none stop and there was no pressure at the time. Here is a little vid of how busy we were

This would be hilarious with the Refreshments playing the King Of The Hill theme song. Not much going on in my pits. Charger to battery, top off fuel, go over timeslip, stress a little because I don't have much racing experience, and just try to soak as much info as possible. With any luck I'll be starting the build on my new motor this year and back at it after a long absence. Just try to be genuine about thanking Him because I feel blessed just to be able to do this.


Better get inside Ma. Looks like a storm's comin'.

The local track starts round-robin after 3rd round, and a typical race is 7 rounds (6 on a bad day, 8 on a good day).

I don't normally lose 1st round, so when they are running the separate reenty round, I get to eat dinner.

So that leaves 2nd round and that might give 45 minutes before 3rd while they run electronics and jr dragsters. Then round robin.

If you like drag racing, support your local track.
