Hi Gang....Sorry I ain't been in here for a while.....but here is an overview of last weekend's fun and festivities.......
Dateline: Saturday Oct. 26, Nostalgia Fest, at South Georgia Motorsports Park, Cecil Ga...........
12:45 pm,
I pulled into the left lane and did a good ol smokey burnout, then eased into the beams, but my newly relocated tranny brake button proved to be slipper than I had anticipated and my gloved finger slipped off before the tree activated...thus....No time.....(ooops!!)
3:51 pm,
This time I was paying closer attention to my finger placement while I was in the right lane (I probably flinched to get the following reaction, but it was a good one anyway) I left the line with a .014 light, and closed the first 60 feet in 1.238 seconds.....and continued to streak to the finish line with a 5.806 @ 116.56 mph.
I decided not to make the 3rd qualifying run for the evening, but they offered to let folks make a time trial that would not effect qualifying so I went out and made a 1/4 mile shot.......
7:38 pm, left lane
.136 r/t
1.240 60ft
3.744 330
5.831 1/8
118.47 mph
7.628 1000 ft
9.163 1/4
146.27 mph.......YES! I was quite pleased with that!
Sunday, Oct 27.....10:53 am.....left lane again
had some MORE "issues" with the tranny brake button and was accused of snoozing at the tree...
.712 r/t
1.238 60ft
3.717 330
5.802 1/8
115.53 mph........and I lifted at the mph cone!!!!!
Oh well, that was the last of the good news for the day, as I had more issues with my two step and shifter, and ended up leaving in high gear.....................sniff, sniff, whine......
A 6.30 e.t. on a 5.75 dial ain't gonna win too many rounds.......
Peggy is still in one piece, and I'm still pluggin along, so I guess it was a good weekend of raciin.....Yak soon!
Long Live Draglist!
Thank You Vets
In God we Trust...(all others pay cash)
