It's About Time (Not MPH)

Okay, I completely forgot to update this last January, after our double Combo deal.
Saturday was so windy, we had to race 1/8th mile ...Not a fan at all.I built this car, thinking I'd be getting 7-8 second head starts. Normally, I would have bailed out for Saturday but I wanted to support the boys' efforts in this series.
Come to find out, my car only runs about .3 under in the 1/8th.
First round , a friend (we're all friends here) put a package on me , and that was that.
Sunday, we went back to 1/4 mile, and my little car went back to about a second under.
I managed to go a few rounds and get semi-final money. Probably had a shot in that round but took my foot out of it. Big mistake.
I don't have enough data to know what kind of a run I was on.
But I did learn some things ,which I'll address and report on later.
Lately, I been working on a coat of Summit Pure White.
I can't paint in my shop, so I had to do it in three stages outside the door, early in the morning. It came out okay I guess. It's kind of a 10 footer right now, but I'm in the process of spiffing it up a little.
Yup , I'm getting to the pictures ;-)
