Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

My first run was a learning experience. I waited in the lanes, put my seat belts on, and the final prep step was to put my Dad’s motorcycle helmet on. Dad was on our minds all day long. I know yesterday would have been a highlight of Dads life without question, and I brought his helmet especially so I had a little memento of the great guy I call Dad.

Composed myself.

Gave a couple hundred high fives and peace signs/Dr Olds Symbols.

I was summoned to the burnout box, and gives the swirling hand signal, I did a good tire spin but had decided not to broach the 4 speed burnout technique till a later date.

I zoomed ahead way past the staging bulbs and started to stage with my rear tires. (This is all on film so I can not deny any of it) The track official gently waved me back very nonchalant so as not to embarrass me.... I could hear my cheering section yellling.... Weaver you are staging with you back tires, put up your windows, etc, etc. So I backed up and staged properly.

The lights stepped down and I saw green.... go time.... I fairly casually went through the gears and eased off on the gas... then I realized I wasn’t even at the finish line.... BTW there is no start or finish line.... would that not make sense??? Where is the race over?

End result... I had more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!!

15.98 ET
77.4 mph

Fun and Fun and Fun!!!

I will dig through my time slips when we get home for the exact details but here is a summary.

I had ET’s mostly in a reducing order from 15.98 to 14.3 and MPH from 77 to 96.
