Happy Sunday y'all. Finally made it to the track and made passes. Car is running great. 60ft is slow, clutch is set up pretty soft and not launching near as hard as it should. No complaints though, it's only been a decade since I've raced and this car been on a dragstrip. My brother had to have been there, since I managed a 1st round win. I had a terrible light, but opponent was way worse. Thinking Mike was holding the guy back for me, LOL. Lost 2nd round. I had .003 green to other guys .037 green, but I slowed down and missed my number. Driver error on timely shifts. All in all, I had one helluva great day. Made a couple of mistakes and learned a few lessons. Very optimistic about making more races this season.

Unfortunately, later in the evening, there was a bad top end wreck. I had already left. I don't know much, aside from driver was alert and conscious. I heard he was transferred to Duke Medical Center where he's apparently scheduled for surgery. Saw a FB post about it and having permission to share info, so if anyone want's to say a prayer for the driver, his name is Farron Shepard. I don't know him, but am praying he heals up quickly from this.

Hope everyone out there has a great and safe week.

Really cool that you finally got to the track William. Sounded like a pretty trouble free day. That is always fun.

I pulled my trans to put in a new ATI 136 tooth flexplate. As I torqued the last flexplate bolt it was one of those moments when you think, it doesn't feel like it's tightening. AAAAnd it wasn't. Grabbing a new set of bolts on the way home tonight. LOL This set had only been in and out maybe 20 times. ARP needs to step up their quality control. Laughing Hard
