Va Street Outlaws had their second race at New London. Very tricky track with no prep. Some of the local boys one the race with a car they took on trade to build a new car for a customer. 700+ allowing only one stage on the tricky track one the event.

Now to toot my own horn.....

Been testing sense last weekend. A few saw me testing at the Tidewater mopar show. Put some gear in the car and tested Fri night with a screwed up shock. Yesterday ran 5.88@119.8 almost 120 toot toot. Some very slight timing adjustments on the launch and ended up #6 in the VA STREET OUTLAWS standings.

I was incredibly nervous about the track. My car only runs their good with NA combinations when prepped. In the ole days on Nitrous you could forget it. First pair of serious cars; one in the grass the other in the wrong lane. Watched a Pro street car rock so hard on top end I could see daylight under each slick going back and fourth. I was next on my 31X14.5 street tires. Never had to lift but the tires smoked on and off all the way through. Put my 32X17.5 tires on that slow the car down on good tracks and let her eat. On tape the car goes straight down broadway every time. If there was an in car camera you would have plainly seen a lot of correcting going on and a nervous driver wondering if everything was going to work out. After a few runs we had the hated left lane figured out. Put your man pants on, pull the belts tight, and drive.

A special thanks to long time friend Troy Blankenship for coming up to help out. And the support of a lot of local friends and people I had not seen sense High School. They were not surprised to find out this is what I do for fun.
