What a GREAT weekend! We had the opportunity last weekend to go up to Redding and ride/race with family/friends. One of our great friends came down from Colorado, a few others came up from Modesto and we made the trip from Sacramento to go play in Redding! Once upon a time we used to all ride/race almost every weekend. Life takes a funny turn every now and then, people move and start new beginnings. Then without notice those that are so important to you come back front and center! We are so excited to be able to rekindle those friendships!
Redding Drag Strip: It was our first time to their track, and it was great; very well prepared and the people were friendly! We'll definitely be making a trip back up there! A few people that have raced Sacramento Raceway and Redding Drag Strip said we should expect to lose a tenth off our times. Fortuntely, we didn't lose anything! We maintained our mph (150mph) and obtained an ET of 9.49, keeping in mind we ran a 9.47 at Sacramento.
We also managed to beat "THE KING" on his turf and fair-n-square! We're not being arrogant or cocky! Joe is a phenominal rider as is Joey! Joey has always admired Joe's ability and attitude towards racing! One of the best things about racing someone who runs a little better #'s then you is they push you, push you to perform better! This was no exception! Joe and Joey got up there, paired up with the intention of simply having some fun! It was a GREAT race, from launch to finish! Joey got Joe out of the hole then Joe out sixty footed Joey, but Joey pulled around him at the top end! Joey's ET 9.49 to Joe's 9.51, it really was a sight to see!
The following day we all got up, went to breakfast (like old times) and then proceeded into the rest of the day by enjoying great company and great riding! We have huge respect & big love for the England family! Thank you for letting us stay with you and have such a fun/wonderful weekend! We can't wait to do it again!
