Look forward to seeing you Tony!!! I will be holding down the 13.00 class. Mr Chip at the shop made me a throttle stop and it works pretty good. I was able to slow it down to a 13.08 at test and tune wed. night and with the weather cooling off I think its about right.

I qualified 10th out of 34 cars in the 13.0 class with a 13.056. In the first round I had the guy .047 to a .222 on the tree and dumped him in the lights and he broke out more. The second round had the guy .005 to a .014 and I ran a 12.997 to is winning 13.04. I was really disappointed up I had a great time. Quicktree had a good night as well I think he made it to 3rd round. It was alot of fun and I only think one wally will be traveling out of the south.

We're currently working on it but I can tell you that it will most likely include a couple of new venues including a pair of very racer friendly facilities, one in New Jersey and the other in Louisiana. Hopefully, we'll have someting to announce in the next few weeks.

well we are back and had a blast. I have to give it to them them the whole program was well run. except for getting in the gate the first day. come to find out they had computer problems scanning the online tickets. other than that it was great. was colder than a well diggers but and they worked thier butts off on the track. I think it was as good as conditions would let it be. I would do it again in a heart beat. I hope the show makes it and expands. it will be on today at 10:30 est.

first day we got as many tnt passes as we could stand and their were over 300 cars. and it took just about everyone to get my car dialed in. finally got it to 11.05 for the 11.0 index. my car did not like the part throttle, it ran good through the gears but struggled the second half of the track. I think the adjusting bolt was deflecting or something not making it consistent. I'll have to work on a new method next time. we won the first round and went out second round. couldn't run the number. Woody made his first passes with his new combo and he was smoking but had some kind of failure first round. I'll let him tell his story. hopefully it's nothing major we all hung out and had a great time they even fed us some bar-b-q friday night. that was great and about time they gave a little back. I think if they want to make this program last they need to make it as easy on the sportsman racer as they can. so I give it a big

Ted go to NHRA Unleased and you should be able to find the rules. it's just heads up index racing, no delay bos no timed throttle stops type deal. the had pro mods, 10.5, easy street and even seen Monte Smith we are really lucky to have somebody like him on the board.

yep car was running great 1st pass of the trailer it ran a 9.901 at 131 lifting about the 1000' mark because I seen a flash I through was the score board but it was my shift light
so made a couple more passes before starting to try and slow it down to run the 10.0 class and got a beat of 9.768 at 138
a few more passes and had the car slowed down running a 10.04 and a 10.05 during quilifying also went ahead and had JT cert the chassis since he was there so now it good to 8.50 any way go up for 1st round every thing is good set the brake light comes down let go and all the sunned car is banging and missing like it's on the 2 step make a quick check all gauges are fine no smoke just no power other guy breaks out so I get the win but car is done havent pulled it apart yet but believe I lost the left head gasket water in left cylinders but not in vc or oil no nocking noise goo oil presser so we will see.
Hope it's not to bad as i am having to take a new job at a 10.00 per hour pay cut thanks to our economy.
