[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

We couldn't sit home another day. The Grove had a special event, E-Town was still under a weather watch so we went West! If anyone recalls the old South Mountain Dragway (now back to the original name of Quarter Aces), it looked like a good place to go. I've not been there since I was a teen, but I remembered that I really liked it.

So, with the wipers on this morning we headed West. No rain when we got here! I know the new owners put a lot of $ into this track, but I must say that it still looks like a time capsule - Benjamin is loving it! What a great place, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] back to the days of dirt / grass pits, no scoreboards, lots of friendly folks and a very relaxed schedule. Oh, and they tech you at your pit!!

We knew the car would run slower today with the 80+ temps and high 70's humidity. Benjamin clicked off a 13.40 on the first run - pretty consistent with last weekend. He's been working the practice tree, and we staged DEEP and got a .176 RT. Not bad.

Second run with similar air yielded a 13.60 with a .068 light. Ben dialed a 13.55, and ran a 13.59 - but redlit the great run away! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Oh well, it was another great day of racing, a win light would have been nice, but I can't get the grin off his face now - imagine when he wins his first one, can't wait.

More next weekend - hopefully.
