Great Reporting Michael, I just wish you had better luck today then I had last weekend.

Tomorrows a new day, so go get 'em!!!

[Michael Beard]

Congrats to Super Stockers Sterling Simmons (W) and Mark Alvey (RU) and Stockers Monty Bogan (W) and Lisa Bolton (RU).

Terry and Barb and I cut out and hit a great restaurant, Rustic River.

More action tomorrow!

Sunday, Sunday, Sundaaaaaaaaaay! Saw a couple new cars roll in today, including Don Dimeler and Craig Couris. Air is similar to yesterday, but seems like many picked up a tick.

55.7 F, 74%, 29.97, 40' DA

I still haven't figured this place out. Air reads worse, cars go faster. Out by .005 yesterday, out by .004 today. -sigh- I leave you in the capable hands of dragracecentral.

See y'all in Concord next week.

Ever notice how Live from any IHRA race will get you about 2000-3000 hits and a Live from any NHRA gets you 25000 plus. It isn't that NHRA racers won't just go to their races they won't even look at a Live from IHRA wherever on the internet. LOL

Chip ,at first we thought the engine locked up. I called myself checking down the list
water full in radiator
no dents in pan
pulled valve covers and everything in place

pulled plugs and all good ( did find not enough jetting )

so i just pulled the plug for the day and time had run out for 1st round..
Got home and thinking all the way to the shop i decided to to look at torque converter...

Guess what ,,,,one bolt had came out and wedged between flywheel and motor in a very hard place to see.
Got bolt out after about a 30 minutes battle.. Replaced bolt and checked over everything once again and cranked the motor and ran perfect.....
Glad we don't have to pull motor . Just was not meant to be at 1st round for some reason ...

It is fixed and ready to battle again.
It was not a total lost as we did re-set the L/SA record at a 12.21..which i am very proud of....

Wow, that's close man, and both days too? Major Bummer!

I'm still envious of you thought Michael, because you're qualified for the World Championship race this fall, and I only needed to win 3rnds to join you, and I couldn't do that....

Where's your next race going to be? Go get 'em there!!!
