I'm going. I hope to run better than I did last Friday. I found an ignition problem that was making my car to cut out at 4500 making me short shift at 4300. She now will go to 5 grand without missing now.

Do time trials start at 8:30 AM?

Alan

I'm planning to attend. But I lost my driver. Apparently he is required to play in a baseball game Sunday. Sad This game was just announced. He's disappointed.

My hand is up in case you can't see it. In fact, I'm planning on going there tonight for practice.

My son and I went tonight. Hooked up with Tom and his Nephew Blake. They were a great help and gave me some good advise. I sure needed it because I had never raced before. Had a blast especially once I got over my jitters. I ran 4 times. The first 2 runs I wont talk about. My best times were.....
Best RT .6886
Best ET 9.2920
Highest speed 78.88

It sounds like your new motor is running great! Your best time would be a 14.5 in the 1/4th. That’s great!!

I can't wait until Sunday; I think it will be great fun. I'm not making any predictions but my goal is to win in the first round.

Beginner's Luck Question Question Question

Today in Denton, Texas even thought it was a hot 98 degrees I defended the DACC's honor by winning the Street Muscle Division of the Texas Muscle Car Challenge on my first outing with my 57.

Of course I had a better run when it was cooler but this was my winning run.

1/8 mile track

RT*****60 ft***330 ft****ET*****MPH**DIAL IN**DIAL OFF**TEMP
0.6512**2.6235**6.7401**10.0562**74.28**9.90***0.1562****98


I showed them that old Tri-5s could still run.

Drag racing is fun but I think I will still keep my car street because I like cruising and showing almost as much as racing. Maybe I like racing a little more now since I won on my first try, but who knows. Very Happy



My 57 in the staging lanes.

Hi Bill and Dianne:

And, I thought we had it bad here!!! 111 Sad

I have spent some time in Phoenix when it was 114. My friends said, "It's ok because it is a dry heat." What ever!!!!

Have a safe trip back.

Congratulations go out to Allan Strong. Well done pal! Class winner! All that with his awesome looking dailey driver/show'N'shine 1957 car. Quite a feather for his cap. We were really happy for this to happen.

John Rush's 1956 is quite powerful with his new 383. His mph numbers tell the story. A powerful and beautiful car I should add. It sounds great.

My 396 big block 57 was running as dependable as "Big Ben". However the driver needs to improve his reaction time. Laughing

This was a really fun event for me. Thanks to all especially David Graves for getting it going and promoting the venue.

All I can say is, "What a RUSH!!!" Get it?? It really was a rush running down that track for my first time ever. I feel real good about my numbers but I sure need some practice. More than once I missed either second or third gear. Fortunately they were practice runs but it made me a little too overcautious to the point where it was on my mind too much. That Tremac shifts more like a Mac truck than a racecar. Next time I'll do better. Who knows, maybe you'll see me at other test-n-tune nights.

A huge thanks goes to David and Tom for guiding me along.

Hey. Who's the idiot racing with the window down? He should have had "Student Driver" written on his car.

I thought the photo looked cool. You have a green light on the tree and you are so cool and casual that you have your arm out the window.

Why not the guy red lighted.
