It wasn't pretty on my side of the slip in 1st round! I pulled something out of my a$$ for the win. Eek

Lost in the 3rd round to a bad hombre, CW Hoefer! He won his dollar back.

Got the Door Car Shoot Out for 10k tonight.

I'm pretty sure I don't want to discuss this past weekend of racing. I'll spare the BS, I sucked & so did the car; regardless it was all my fault. I did learn some things, we'll see if I can apply them in the next races!

This is about our M/T PBRs 29.5 x 10.5 with 100+ runs. This is our 3rd set of PBRs & up to this past weekend haven't had any issues with them.

This was our 1st time at Famoso in Bakerfield, CA with the ProCharged combo. This track has a lower elevation & better air than we are used to in Vegas. The DA ranged from about 1200' - 2500' & the temps ranged from high 60s to mid 80s.

Anyway, our 60's were varying a good amount between 1.34 - 1.35. Plus, we had 3 runs with tire shake, then into tire spin. The tire did hook after a quick peddle.

For the last day of racing, Sun. I added a real mild launch retard to the tune. While I only got 2 runs after doing that, the 60' repeated with 2 1.366s.

I really don't blame the tires this past weekend. I'm asking a lot from this tire, bracket racing in the 5.6 - 5.7 range 1/8th mile. While I think the launch retard is a crutch (maybe). I did see a video of one of my runs. I noticed I need to tighten the extension on the front shocks.


We're racing this weekend at our home track in Las Vegas with a T&T on Fri. & points races on Sat. & Sun. Not really looking forward to it with predicted temps 103* & 106* & we start around noon. Eek The track is stupid for not making changes for the heat & we are even more stupid for supporting it!

Besides being stupid, I plan on still using the launch retard that was mentioned above in another thread. I'm hoping to find some more consistent 60's this coming weekend in the heat.

Hope to see you out there. I'm battling starter issues.
I will have to keep the AC going in the RV this weekend! Maybe go to the movies after we're done for the day(seems like the movies are as expensive as bracket racing)


I'm not in a bad mood, I just look that way.........

This past weekend was hot & the same for everyone. After seeing numerous racers leaving the track Sat. I & a friend/racer decided to pack up Sun. morning early & not race.

Sat. race I went out in the 1st round. I found out I don't have a good tune-up for the hot weather!

Got to 2nd round Saturday and lost a double breakout race by .001
On Sunday I threw out a .004 pack on my team mate Rick Emanuel.
In rd 2 I had the same guy as Saturday and found the brake pedal (got yelled at for that)let him by and won.
Just figures in rd 3 I had brain fade and left in drive and lost by 2 tenths Shake head
Not their fault but the track guys were in a big hurry to finish up and I let it rattle me a little but I don't blame them it was 101* outside and about 120 in he car.
