No, they are both at Denton. Sounds like fun. Are you guys sleeping in your trailer or does someone have a camper?

Nostalgia drags sound good - we'll be there Saturday night to support DACC and Blown Inheritance teams. I'm new to this so do we tailgate in the pits so long as a repair between heats is not required?

Bring the Chevy and we will park it close to our pit if possible .. shouldn't be a problem ..

I will have extra tools in case you are needed! Very Happy

actually as long as my driver doesn't tear up stuff in qualifying, only between round stuff is fuel and maybe adjustments to fuel flow, tire pressure and in extreme situations a blower pulley change ..

Just a FYI .. we get two qualifying runs, we all run on a 4.65 index, our first round everyone runs (should have 8-10 cars), the quickest 4 winners that don't go quicker than 4.65 advance to the semis, then those two winnner make up the finals.

It's alot of fun and would love to have DACC out!

Here is a on board video from a recent pass

got the race in in spite of the possible rain showers, the weekend was good for us, not great .. another weekend of learning, which is the mode 'Blown Inheritance' is in this year, lost the first qualifying run due to a malfunction, second qualifying pass the car didn't go straight and that is an important part of this deal but we did make it in the #8 spot with that run, our first round Chris went red by the slimmest of margins with a -.0097 light but we didn't tear up anything so it's all good.. we have more things to do before we are truly competitive but the goal is to be at that level for next year's season.. thanks to Alan S for coming out and support the team!

Below is a video of the 2nd qualifying run ..

http://youtu.be/0YxdWTqV_gQ

Our next race is in Tulsa next weekend but the team will not be able to make that event, so the final race of the season originally scheduled for San Antonio has been move to Denton of all places, October 13th and it will be a large event with our group the Texas Blown Fuel Assoc along with the Outlaw Fuel Altereds AND Southwest Jr Fuel Assoc so it will be a huge nostalgia event so if you don't attend the DACC Drive In Movie Night that same evening in Granbury, as always DACC is welcomed to come hang out at team 'Blown Inheritance' for the final event of the year .. it will be a good one!
