I didn't race today. We drove to Vegas yesterday in the heat and ran the generator and roof air. By the time we got to Vegas the sun was going down and the roof air died. My wife has some serious health issues and wouldn't have done well to try and sleep in the hot RV so we went home to Kingman. Got home at 2:30 am.
Sunday racing hopefully will happen for me but with my F150 single cab short bed coyote daily
.

I draw the line at 108* and 75% humidity. I love racing but I have a limit to what I'll deal with. I don't know how you folks back in the East and South deal with 110/100. NOPE!

I'm trying to have fun but the heat just drains it out!

I've tomorrow to get it right.

The heat continued to F..k the fun out of the weekend.

I did remember to put the N after my dial in today! My .009 light in the 1st round didn't cut it & my opponent went .004. My choice has been to do it without a box, for shyts & giggles.

On to the Winnemucca, NV. outlaw track for some little prep asphalt 6.0 Index & some bracket racing in a couple weeks.

yeah sometimes you forget how leveling drag racing can be . After the last 2 years especially you just get used to some success , then get kicked in the arse .

Tex,

I'm blessed to still be able to win a race or two yearly. It's getting harder to do the older I get. I find myself making more stupid mistakes; like forgetting to put the N after my dial in for no cross talk.

Getting ready for the 7-hr. drive to Northern NV. next week for a mini racecation with the wife. She doesn't go to the track much anymore but she thought this sounded like a fun trip.

Prepping here for the Clemmons Stick Shift Nationals at Farmington Friday/Saturday. Did some preventive maintenance last week & this weekend. Pulled tranny to check clutch stuff. Everything's looking good right now. Added a little bit of base pressure. Looked inside tranny and appears ok as well. Checked spring pressures and valves, again things appear good. Rewired the fan, since my emergency repairs a few weeks ago weren't pretty, but were functional. Want to bump my launch RPM from 6600 to 7000, but Don't have the chip. Set up for 6800 for now and hope to find what I want before leaving Friday morning. Need to pick up some more fuel as well. No one within 2 hours ride from me stocks C14, but with a slight detour to the track, I should be able to get it, hopefully. Sent an oil sample out to SpeedDiagnostix, which analysis shows good. Hopefully I'll be able to get my trailer set up for a more comfy overnight stay. Gonna be hot from here on and sleeping in the backseat of the truck may not be so comfy going forward. Gotta find my portable A/C an air mattress and possibly a canopy to park the car under for shade.

Y'all have a great week.
