Default "Live From" zMax Dragway, 4 Wide Charlotte NC

Hey guys, we are at zMax Dragway the 4 Wide, Charlotte NC. The weather is looking better than it did early in the week. I'm sure we will get a little rain, but I think we can get this race done. Part 2 tomorrow...

We are parked and you can tell the car count is down, as there are lots of space still left. I will have a video of rolling into the pits and a ride around the pits. Still no rain, and it looks like it will pass us, maybe a few sprinkles later.

The first photo shows when you just got to get under the dash. I'm thinking chivalry is a thing of the past, but hey that's just me.

I'll be back later with more.

Or maybe she just believes in the old saying "If you want something done right, do it yourself"

That looks like Robbie Butler and his wife lol. Good folks!

I'll be pulling in tomorrow morning with any luck. They are currently calling for +.5 inches of rain tomorrow so I'll be shocked if I ever even drop my trailer door at any point Friday. Good luck everyone!

There’s no chivalry when you’re part of the crew! LOL! Gotta do what ya gotta do. I was changing out the Holley ECU up under the dash. Ain’t no way Robbie was going to fit. BAHAHA Everything works now so it was definitely worth it! WOOT WOOT!
