Back in early April a fellow racer Bryon Downing (this is the son of Dwight Downing a Champion S/ST racer who passed away a year and a half ago) was rear-ended while sitting at a red light by a car that was traveling over the speed limit in Phoenix. He has had a few surgery's and has got a good fight to get back walking. If and when I win any cash I'm pledging all funds is him.... So Wish me luck for the WIN !!!!

You Guy's Have A Great Weekend.....


That's great that you are willing to help out like that.
Best of luck this weekend Nick.

Sorry been hard at work this week and have not had time to post at all....

Last weekend did not go as planned, the car was the best ever . The 60ft in 4 hits varied .003
while 1/4 mile hits varied with times 10.44 to 10.453 which for my junk is pretty good. May I add when we started we had a tail wind of 25 mph and by second round down to zero!

My problem was the driver...LOL First time hit was -.025 red so what did I do add .025 to the box(I never chase delay) second hit go .025 green. At this point I'm laughing and wondering what's next!! First round I get this very young blood out of Mexico in and 8.65 dragster who dials up to 8.50 . I figure just hit it and run balls out. My light got worse with an .032 he had .048 but was on me hard at 1000 ft. marker and I thought where is he going. He was hard on the brakes for 300 plus feet and goes 8.334 at 122.7 MPH . What the heck, he had a plan but could stop fast enough...LOL Saw the same guy go 7.691 in a test and tune run late that night.

Ok here comes round two , and I do the chasing of the box again and pull out .012 trying setup on a .020 light against a 7.83 dragster . What happens I go -.007 red... OMG if I only left that thing alone....HAHAHA

I figured out Bryon should get $40 for each of my (how do I say blunders) on my pledge so I'm still send $160 .... OMG did I say do not touch that box.... LMAO


Uncontrollable Laugh


Here comes 80,000 and little to NO DRAMA......

For Moe.....

Well dang, Nick. We all have those days. Red lights are just no fun. The way I look at it is, once you have won 1st round, you have done better than half the racers did.

Beats my last outing, towing 800 miles one way to make one qualifying pass........
