Well, today was the last day that my local track was open, so I decided to head out there for the afternoon. The weather was promising, 55 degrees and pretty clear.

I got there at Noon and ran almost right away. I ran a 14.530 @ 95.95 with a 2.230 60'. Not too bad, that is now my best time. I kinda bogged on the launch, and figured that with normal launch 14.4's would be easy, and 14.3's weren't impossiable.

Well, after waiting for 2 hours (someone blew his oil pan and there were 250 cars there) I got to go again. This time I screwed up and over did it on the launch, spinning the tires waaaay to long, leading to a 2.432 60' and a 14.837 @ 95.67.

So, I figured third time would be the charm. Well, there was no third time. The sky opened up and it began to rain, and that was it.

I really felt that the car would have run a 14.4 easily...it was still hot from my 2+ hour drive from Fredonia (gf's) to the track. I thought if I let it cool and did slightly better on the launch 14.4's would have been easy.

Maybe next year!

 

At least you got to beat your best time. Congrats.

 

Not by enough!

Thanks though.
