You dog as our weather still stinks. Good luck. Ron
Quote:Hey Blaine, thanks, and good chatting with you too. Weekend was pretty much of a disaster. Didn't know track prep was non-existent on Friday nights. First pass was a slip&slide to a 10.90 @126. Second pass just about took out the 330 light box. Had to lift. Was gonna try to make one more pass and couldn't get the car started ( probably a good thing ). Neutral safety switch took a dump. I was so disgusted we just loaded up Saturday morning and went home. Friday night at about 9:30 all 7 staging lanes were packed solid - and they were still rolling in. Looked like a foreign car used car lot . Only plus was the motor hit on all 8 down the track.
It was good chatting with you John.
That big whale is looking good and so are you!
Sorry I couldn't make it back out there yesterday.
How'd you do?

Quote:Ya, the water thing was bad. I was first in line in lane 7 ( supposed to be for slick cars only but street tire cars were mixed in )and watched the other lanes being emptied. A Lot of kids just drove right through the water box ( instead of going around it )to the staging lights. My boat never gets loose in second gear, so it was a "depends" pooping experience. The track personnel just couldn't handle it.
Sorry it didn't work out better, but at least it was running OK.
I know what you mean about T&T nights...I had sportsman front runners, and ET street rears, and the tech guy made me run with the street tire guys over the slick guys. Yes, they are DOT tires, but come on...
Street guys were dragging water up to the line, leaving AC condensation drippings everywhere...I had no nope of having any traction...
Quote:Hey big "D". At least I got my engine "missing" issues straightened out. Hit on all 8 for both runs. Only put in 28 degrees for the first run. 34 for the second run ( it likes that # ), but of course I couldn't apply it to the track. Warming up there a bit? By the time the weather is good to race by you, it will be sweltering here.
Sorry to hear you had trouble.
Glad to hear it stayed in one piece.
