It was good talkin' with ya tonight Pappy!



EDB

Thanks for the call and the information Eric. I'm sure it won't be the last time we talk

Today started out relaxed and full of anticipation. It ended tense and frustrated I made it to the track around 9:00 so most would be thru tech before I got there. I unloaded and put the bottle on the heater while I checked the tires and fluids. I was B.Sing with the guy next to me and missed 1st call for license runs I was in no hurry anyway. 2nd round was called and this time I was ready. I pulled into the staging lanes and there was about 12 cars waiting to make license runs (unusual to be that many) When it was my turn I pulled into the water box and did my burnout, turned the bottle on,turned the nitrous on and hit the purge. Everything is looking goota. I pulled into the beams and held it at 3500 rpms. The lights came down and I left on the last yellow, when it happened Another right turn toward the wall I pedaled and got back in it only to run a 10.52@133.83 I was pissed!!!!!!!!!!! Everything on the car was checked before I ran at Beaver Springs, where it ran nice and straight Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't get my license On a good note I ran a new personal best MPH, So I'll get em' next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe

Crazy,,,but stick with it. If it was easy anyone could do it buddy.

Good mph Pappy......

Sorry for the frustration, Pappy. What times are you trying to run? It seems to me that a 10.52 is not bad for 133 mph. Maybe 10.30s or so are possible, but I think that unless you get the speed up to 135-138, you won't hit the nines. Since you said that the 133 was your best speed, was that all throttle? Is there 135-140 mph power in the bottle? You'll get it figured out soon. bp

just getting caught up Rick.. congrats on the MPH best... and driving the car to the stripe under power... ...

I know what it's like to have the car go straight on one track, the go anyway but straight on the next track
You'll get it figured out Pappy - just takes time and runs - but it'll come around.
