Johnny...Congrats to your son! How'd you do? Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to you, never saw you at your trailer. We left early since my car seemed to be launching on ice all day, lol. sixpackgut...Looked for you before we left, but didn't see you. Was good to see you again, wish you'd been able to bring the challenger! You coulda whooped my butt if you could have hooked the least little bit, lol. My buddy Wes won the street class w/ the silver Nissan Altima SE/R. My junk blew the tires off through first gear on all 3 passes I made. My car just didn't like the track and I was only footbraking. Exact same setup carried the front tires last saturday night. Nothing against the track prep, my car is just sensitive. Made a new rule for myself...No more daytime racing when it's hot. I think I lost 5 lbs sitting in the staging lanes. Had a pretty good turnout I thought. We had a great time, other than Alex getting sunburnt real bad. CHIP

Guys, Was Sunday better than Saturday? I was there all day Saturday and was very disappointed in the turnout of Mopars. There were only 3 swap meet vendors selling crap too.

I doubt it, we didn't go on sunday. I don't understand why more don't come? It's almost as nice of a facility as Rockingham is (The Rock has a little more room), but more vendors go there. I'd rather see it held when the weather's a little cooler, but that's just me. I wish more of the mopar guys would have come out to support the show. It's nice to have someone like Galeana Dodge (Frog) trying to put on a show for the Mopars, so why not come out and support it? If the purse for the race isn't high enough, then you need to stay home anyway. It has the potential to be a quality show/race. There are enough mopars close enough to attend, and it's a good facility. CHIP

My son won the jr dragster on sunday!!!!!
That's a good start.
How did the Dart run?
Chased tail all day long Spun tires on saturday ,Then all of sudden in 3rd round track came around car hooked broke out by 3 patting gas. Sunday Track 1st pass was slick Then went into 1st round guessed on dail in add 10 numbers to box went .002 red and car picked 4 numbers on dail in all in 60 ft so went bought back in keep in mind it keeps getting hotter it was 92 93 degrees. Add 10 more to box had .003 red car picked up 7 numbers on dail most in 60 ft so just get a hold on track because it was slick then started to work like it normal does. But with do jr with zach if won't for his mom coming it would really been hard. They run back to back So I would jump out the dart jump on golf cart go to line let him make his pass by the time we picked him up got back to trailer they would be calling our class back up there. call me tell you more bought it.
