Honestly, NHRA's decision to forego/rewrite a rule to strengthen a pro category has left a subsect of their own (young people waiting their turn) to at an early age lose some faith in their sports governing body. And subsequently dislike Tanner in the process, not to mention his hissy fits.

Couldn't agree more! Have her come race with the SSSSA for that period of time and hopefully she will keep up the interest and get some good seat time and race experience! Daniel did and did very well. We try to have 6-8 races a year Our 2018 schedule should be out in December or January We never race over someone else's race . Jim

We will, we're also running the 2018 D2 races for grade points for 2019.

Last minute decision to hit test and tune today so last night we moved the shifter back since I had a PM from a forum member as well as a friend tell me it wasn't popping out of gear she was pulling it out when the car launched, we also took some base out of the clutch. Well the good news is she was pulling it out of gear so thats fixed, clutch is still grabbing good and we still have to add weight to be legal so we'll see how the glutch behaves next time out with more weight. Test-n-tune was packed so that didn't help any, the first run we set the leave rpm at a lowly 4600 and I set the shift light at 6400, launched good but drug the motor down just a tad, wheels in the air about 2 feet 1.48 60' and 7.45 to the 1/8. Sat in the staging lanes for 2+ hours for the second run, set launch at 4800 and it blew the tires off, came back and the right rear was going flat, so we called it a day. Shifter is now in the furthest position back as you can see in the pic.

Made a trip to Thursday night TNT tonight, still too much clutch and need to work on the chassis. Two shots with the two step at 4800 resulted in the same traction issues. She stayed with it on this one just to make a full pass, this is 100lb light for "H" and the 60' is .40 slower than the best.

Pretty good mph, all things considered. Once you get the early numbers to come around, you'll be in good shape.
