While I have posted most of the index trophy pics. The 1st pic is all of them together. The 3 on the left are the 5.80 index wins, 2 of them won at Barona & 1 of them won at Famoso. The 3 on the right are the 6.0 index wins from NNRA - Good Times Dragstrip in Winnemucca, NV.

While the NNRA trophies are small the payouts were much better, to the tune of over 4K. The 5.80 trophies are nice, but the payouts were substantially smaller around 2K.

The NNRA wins were the most satisfying to win from a driving & tuning standpoint! I really had to be on my toes to get down the all asphalt minimally prepped track.

Happy day after race weekend... Brian, someone gonna put a bounty out for you if you keep spanking the competition like you are...

Had a great time at Farmington with the CCRA. Friday was TNT. 1st pass was great, 2nd pass blew the tires off, so no useable info gained, other than getting my reaction times under control. That 2nd pass, getting dark and I don't think I was lined up in the groove properly. I planned on a 3rd run, but on the return road my windshield got foggy and hard to see with poor return road lighting, so I shut down for the evening. As far as my goal of working on RT, I was slow but green on both runs.

Saturdays 1st time run .065 RT and made a good pass. 2nd pass was dash for cash/time runs. Dialed on 6.27 and brain dead me showed up, LOL. Staged car and forgot to release the line lock. Figured that out mid way through 2nd gear. Good thing I only stage it at 250-300# to keep from rolling through. Lost 2 tenths on ET. Slow off the line as well. I'm curious if the line lock made any difference in RT. 1st round eliminations, I actually drove like I had a clue. .0117 RT gave me the opportunity to let off early and get the win. 2nd round and car spun bad, of course I lose. Lost over 4 tenths on ET. Got the back end pretty bad sideways it spun so bad. Still left on green though, which I'm counting as a consolation win.

Sundays race, we only had one time run, which was dash for cash as well. Straight off the trailer, dialed 6.24 and ran 6.2502 with .037 RT. Feels good to feel I'm learning how to predict ET with it. 1st round dialed 6.25 and smoked my opponent at the tree with .0072 light. Got pretty close to the speed traps and let off. As soon as I did I saw his front end at the corner of my windshield and got back on the throttle. Went through with 6.31, dropping 5mph and had MOV of .0000. I'd like to know what the last number was, but didn't take the time to check and see if the tower could tell me. My butt kinda puckered when I saw him catching me. 2nd round was a total bust for me. Pulled into the lanes and noticed temp was going up, even though I was running the fan and engine was off. Of course that makes me think fan, given the fan issues from before. Unbuckle, jump out, check under the hood and fan and water pump are running. In and outta the car a couple more times turning things off & on and only thing I can come up with is a bad temp gauge. Heads were barely warm, intake at sending unit barely warm also. Had to scramble to get belted back in and ready to run. Unfortunately, now I'm distracted and paying more attention to the temp than where I should be. Think I staged out of the sweet spot again, as I spun a bit and missed my dial by .04. Had a .0666 light also, which I'm blaming for the lack of traction.

All in all, another great weekend at the dragstrip and I didn't red light once. Pretty sure that's a first for me since returning to racin... Time to start preparing for CCRA at GALOT in 2 weeks...

Y'all have a great week.

Almost forgot, Fern, they had a YUUUUUGE turnout of bracket cars over the weekend. I believe the count in Top was 330'ish Saturday and well over 200 on Sunday. I didn't hear a count for Modified, but there were a whole bunch over there as well... Really good weekend for sure.
