Had our first ever 1/8 mile drag race here on the north end of vancouver island, Port Mcneill airport and turned out great.Car cont was 81 I think, ran sportsman, pro, and superpro. All got in 3 rounds saturday, but with rain threating, we ran a gamblers race with 20 buck buy in. I went 6 rounds with my good old cuda and took home top prize of 200 bucks. Was kewl for local lad to win the first race. Also ran a best of 6.441 on the eith so happy with that too. Sunday with rain again threating, we went right into eliminations and got it off. I red lit second round. The biggest surprise was local helicopter shop opening up for rides for 25 bucks a head for 15 minutes, was awesome of them as it took us all by surprise. I,m sure theres gonna be some great shots from that. Anyway, after all this, sure do appreciate all the work that goes into this as our start line crew was green as can be as well as our tower crew, which i might say was my quad trailer converted for the weekend lol.We will be doing this again.

My friend from Campbell River ( Don Bailey) was there in my old Duster. F5 green with hood blackout and 340 wedge bill board.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

awesome Todd yup Don was there with the duster, yes last year we had a test and tune with no tree just single passes recorded but we did run doubles by arm drop so this was our first official race. When the track came around it did hook as my 60,s were right where they should be . The biggest problem is the track slopes slightly from left to right so you are fighting all the way lol. Hopefully we learn from it and our next one in augast is better, ie more communication
