First NHRA race in 23yrs, I had a great time even though my driving wasn’t good.
Won 1st round of race one when B. Phillips went red by .003. lost 2nd round to Jerry Stein on a red light and first round of race two I took a nap at the starting line against Michael Wann.
Everyone I met from NHRA and the participants offered encouragement and were very helpful in getting me through from TT to scales and fuel check and showing me the procedures from Q sheets to ladders.
(A little different than the old S/G racing I did)
Sneaking up on the tune, car is running about the same ET it ran before adding weight. The best run was 10.28 with 1.37 60ft. I still need a few more tenths to be more competitive and the driver needs some serious coaching and more practice.
Many Thanks
