Default Re: The newest drag racer gears up!

Went to TnT last Friday night for the sole purpose of working on green lights - had 3 green out of 4 after we put some slack into the throttle cable, and lowered the air pressure in the front tires. Not too bad, gave us hope for Saturday.

Only one time run on Saturday due to the pending rain, Ben cut an .008 light - but it was nowhere good enough for the bye run as 3 other Jr's cut .000's, two others had .002's and another had an .005 within the 30+ car field.

Ben got lucky in round 1 when he drew a 12.90 car and she red lit by -.005 because Ben also red lit by -.005 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Second round we were up against a 7.90 car and Ben went red by -.045. I can't tune that out of the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] Extremely frustrating for the both of us! So, we will make some more adjustments before we head to Bristol, TN this Friday - and hope to learn a bunch in the Doug Foley Drag Racing School.

In the lanes for Round 2, nerves going crazy - note the Grumpy billboard on the wall at the Grove:
