Big thanks to Fred for organizing this event, it was fun and a lot of trucks showed up to run. Even a few volkwagens and el camino’s came out…although I still haven’t figured out the correlation between them and the TRUCKS… It was a TRUCK drag, but whateva!
They gave them numerous practice runs, starting around 10 am. Giving her plenty time to get comfortable and ready to roll.
§ 15.38 @ 88.36 mph with a .257 reaction and a 2.38 60’ time
§ 15.78 @ 92.07 mph with a .247 reaction and a 2.54 60’ time
§ 15.56 @ 88.02 mph with a .195 reaction and a 2.44 60’ time

§ 16.03 @ 83.85 mph with a .174 reaction and a 2.50 60’ time
So lots and lots of practice passes! And she is pretty darn consistent….how does she do that? So now we break for a quick lunch and we’ll jump into the action a little after 1pm.
Unfortunately, she broke out 1st round and was eliminated with a:
§ 15.92 @ 85.24 mph on a 15.98 dial in
Yikes, so darn close. Her opponent was off by a lot on his run vs. dial time too! Oh well, that’s racing but she was hot when she went out. She cooled down a bit and we bought into Jackpot… let’s see how we do here!
Not so good…
§ 16.07 @ 84.82 mph on a 15.90 dial in
She needed that pass on the previous round, darn it! Ah well, it was all good fun and great practice… Not to mention her first competition! Good Job princess! She is excited for the next race…
