JP1738's Stocker and S/G car

Been a few weeks but I'm still out doing my thing. Made my way to the Jegs Sportsnationals at SGMP a few weeks ago with my station wagon.

Pulled in on Tuesday night about an hour from the track where I nabbed a hotel stay, then made my way on the the track Wednesday morning. It rained most of the day that day so we were only able to get one time-shot in for Stock. Ran class eliminations and first round on Thursday.

I ended up in the Auto Combo for class eliminations where I ran Cody Philips, I only managed a .20ish under pass and was swiftly dispatched out of class run-offs. Had an extremely tough draw first round of the national event in Joe Santangelo. I got a bit too aggressive on the starting line and unfortunately turned it -.004 red ending my weekend. I was really pleased with the car though. it ran extremely consistently in the 4 hits I made, running 12.764 off my 12.78 dial-in after my red-light first round, which is pretty much exactly what I thought it would go.

I left that evening to come home for a local points meet at Roxboro on that Saturday, more on that later because there was serious drama. I don't want to clutter this post with it though.
