Indy, Rain is on hold...

Chris "drooze" Wertman · 05-21-2010, 11:05 AM

I made a few phone calls and told the powers that be if it rains before our qualifying pass. Well.....just arrange it so it dosent, or well, I might buy a Ford for myself.

And we got to lay down a monster time, the Old Man, first time with a burnout limiter........a 22.09 @ 38mph In F/SA so....apparently its what happens when you run down the track on the burnout limiter....

So we got in the lanes after some tech confusion on our part.

But were on the sheet, and its still together, a first for us, qualified and together at the same time. And he hit the scales and fuel (my biggest worry was after the bobble he'd head to the trailer, I may have not thinking) and more important we got to meet some great people. And well we got some pics Tech was having fun with sidewalk chalk. Funny thing is I grabbe a box of my kids sidewalk chalk and almost brought it, next time I will.....who says you need to be a kid to play.

But it could also serve dual purpose.....a warning.....

When Mandie and I got back to the pit, the car was all setup charger on, etc, I said Damm the old man is on it, then I couldnt find him, pulled around the trailer, he was in a beeline for some relaxation following the adrenaline that must have been coarsing through his veins from such a blistering pass

Call Joel's on Joy for a transmission that will do the 1-2 shift throughthe valve body automatically. Makes for a much more consistant car and less stress on the driver.
313-581-6266 I'm sure he can make a trans for you that will eliminate the need for a rev limiter.

Drooze,

I am a silent follower of your adventures. Just wanted to make sure you knew about the Sportsnationals Open at Beech Bend in Bowling Green, KY next weekend. Test and tune on Friday, stock car racing on Friday night, Class eliminations on Saturday, and eliminator on Sunday. I would really like to share stories with you over some adult beverages. Please come join us.

I think there is really something to be said for Tech guys that can enjoy themselves with something so simple as sidewalk chalk. I think the eyes and smile on the outline makes it look like Gumby.

I totally appreciated that in their down time they held a vote for Best Appearing Crew Member. I was informed this morning that I won. YAY! I'm flattered.

It definitely put a smile on my face after being very disappointed with the way our runs went.

I couldn't even watch this morning's run because the thought of what might go wrong was giving me chest pains. Oh Jezabelle, you toy with my emotions....
