We took a few weeks off from racing, but with a double points weekend coming up we took advantage of the TnT session Friday night. Car ran good with an 8.85, 8.87 & 8.87 with Ben cutting good green lights; .015, .013 & .054. We felt good for Saturday morning.
The car count was very high this weekend with 41 Jr's on Saturday and 37 on Sunday! Ben was relaxed in the staging lanes though!
Ben had to race a 7.90 car in first round both days, and although he had a good light on Saturday (.021 to her .025) - I misdialed the car when I panicked a bit and added another 5 pounds at the last minute.

She ran within a hundreth of her dial - she is very good racer with track championships, and even an ECF win. It was a really good drag race.
On Sunday, Ben had an .070 light vs. an .020 light for his competitor, and the game was over. Ben drove great, running an 8.898 on an 8.900 dial while pedaling trying to dunk him - but this one was lost at the tree.
Overall, some good drag racing - and no red lights!
Danny tagged along Friday night, and the whole family was there on Saturday - Amanda got to sit in this car, even though we couldn't cut a deal on it (yet). Just note the big smile! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
