Nothing like a back tire going flat at 135 mph https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Just got in. Had a fun wekend, in spite of Howie. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Not for sure why they wanted us to run the 1/8, but we did, Saturday afternoon. I ran and lost to a AMC Superstocker (Red developed a miss) and none of the other legends would run Howie, so he did a single. Saturday evening we decided to run with the NPCA guys, and as luck would have it, or not, depends on how you look at it, I drew Howie. Red ran better, with a fresh set of plugs, but did not matter, as Kim spanked me good, paying me back for St. Louis. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Sunday we ran with the NPCA guys again, my opponet broke out the first round, but we had to rerun because of a timing problem, the second time he put me on the trailer. On Kim's pass he cut a rear tire at the big end, which ended his day.

Yeah. I think he was sandbagging. He told me he had not raced it in 10-15 years, had just put a new head gasket on Thursday, brakes were sticking, never ran a pro-tree, yada, yada. Then he goes out and does a funnycar burnout past the starting line, trees me and beats me by a tad.

Brian is a cool guy, with a really cool Superstocker, from back in the day. The best part, when I stopped to check on him as he was working on the old dual point on the return road, he looked up and said "that was the most fun I have had with that car in 15+ years."

Worst part is I blew a tire on the way on the trailer. I had no jack. Stopped at Auto Zone bought a 12 ton bottle jack. I also blew one on the home from St. Louis seems to be coming a pattern. Too old for some of this. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Kim, I use a car ramp to change trailer tires. No need for a jack. Works great and less work.
