Went to Maple Grove Raceway in Pa. this last weekend. Saturday only got 2 passes, 9.001 1st time trial. 1st elimination is 3-3/4 hours later, runs another 9.001, with a red light. Done for the day.

Sunday 1st time trial , it runs a 9.005 with a red light. Tighten front shocks 1 click , adjust trans brake button , last 3 turns out, and lower air pressure in front tires 2 pounds. I get a green light .048, and run 8.995, with a win. Won next round , on brakes, with a .030 light, with a 9.036 et. Won 3rd round with a .023 light, 8.982 et, opponent went red. Lost 4th round , Red light -.023 , with a 8.981 et. All passes were 148 m.p.h. except when I was on the brakes. I dialed car at 9.00 . I could only dial 9.00 , that was the class cut off at Maple Grove.

I usually run at Numidia Dragway. Best et was 9.04, up to 9.15 , this year.

This week at Numidia we ran 9.058 ets on Friday. Lost in Semi's, at 3 cars. went red -.032..

Saturday we ran 9.033, and lost 2nd round.

Sunday we ran 9.000 and got rained out part way thru 2nd round. Car was running good.
