Great stuff Jeff. Now that he's licensed, do you plan on running with a program this year? Do they ever run at Union Grove? I know I've seen the Juniors there before. [/ QUOTE ] rick, yeah the grove has a jr program but Byron is only 30 minutes from us so were going to run the points there and when Byron isnt having a points race we'll probably go to the Grove. he already got his NHRA license last june but Byron is IHRA, thats why he needed to make more runs. more seat time the better !! ![]() |

we took Dominic to make his IHRA license passes yesterday at Byron Dragway.i let him go all out this weekend and never touched the car except to add alcohol. he had to make 2 half track passes and 4 full 1/8th mile runs. as the day went on the car kept getting quicker. run 1....10.96 @ 57.15 mph run 2....10.92 @ 51.31 mph..both shutting off run 3....10.79 57.89 mph run 4....10.688 @ 58.33 mph run 5....10.682 @ 58.97 mph run 6....10.60 @ 58.88 mph we tried doing a burnout in the water but really made no difference so we stopped doing them. now we'll play with gearing before the points opener on may 2nd.....Coles car is in the paint stages at some place called "Deuce Heaven".....we'll have them both making runs side by side at the reunion.....should be a cool experience for all of us.......here are a couple videos............ first attempt at a burnout http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/...TestTest003.flv http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/...TestTest001.flv http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/...TestTest002.flv http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/...TestTest009.flv i havent figured out how to post the actual video in a post yet. [/ QUOTE ] SWEETNESS! We caught some Jr. Dragster action @ Super Chevy this weekend...those older kids were FLYING! My boys were going bonkers watching them go down the track!! So, how's the boy doing on the tree? ![]() |

I bet the rollout is tiny on one of those things...did u try having him deep stage? Or maybe super shallow and have him leave a bulb early? I can't remember, but I *assume* they run a .500 Sportsman tree? Those lights are very respectable this early in the game...
