Chad says they are drying the track and should be running cars this afternoon.We are staying near the convention center and it is sprinkling here. News says rain will clear out tonight and be sunny tomorrow.
That's a whole lot of perfect happening there. Driver knowing exactly how the car is setup and working, and trusting the car to maintain that. NiceOne of my favorite pictures from yesterday. Whats better than a pro mod on the wheelie bars passing the 330' cone while still fully committed (WOT)? Pretty awesome pass by Mike Maggio

The joys of racing. Sorry to hear about your trip. The one time I went to Florida was just about that fun...dropped a valve on second pass off the trailer. Never even thought of the new style scoops running so far over the drive...let alone being carbon fiber and not aluminum.Here is my street car supernationals whine like a bitch story. Worked our ass off for the last month to step up our program ( I sponsor a 68 camaro , Brad 8 billet hemi , davenport 14-71 with a Janis Carbon hat ) and go from a big block chev to a hemi so we could have some power in the bank for some of these events. So we worked until the last minute and got all the modifications done and hit the road from seattle. Got down here with plenty of time to test , BUT, apparently we brought the RAIN with us..No testing for us..Go into Q1 with no hits the car jumps up spins the tire and hits the limiter and bangs the blower belt, no big deal right, WRONG . Belt hit the bottom of the carbon hat and put a 5" x 5" hole in it all the while sucking carbon shards and fuel nozzles into a brand new hemi...GAME OVER. As I write this the car is already back in seattle with a speeding ticket and 6 new trailer tires...Bring on the holidaze !

Stickman and the 57 that car was a bad bitch in it's day.Remember watching him race in the PSCA races at Speedworld near Surprise, AZ. Used to go to that track quite often to hand with my buddy, Mike Stickman Pritchard

I don't know if you know Joel Orem but I was helping him his last time out at Street Car Super Nationals in 08, best 60ft that car ever saw and was heading for 7.90's when the motor ate itself up he never got the car running again, but that's a different 18 pack. LOL.So true. Hated seeing him crash it in Vegas. He talks of getting back into cra racing again but enjoys the dunes with his family.

I've tried to get him to throw his money away into a boat but he won't go for it.I know of Joel but never hung out with him.

Including Greg and his (no joke) welded piston in his Miller.Surprised since a lot of the street racers I knew went to boating
I have known Greg before we could drive . We were pretty good friends through high school . We had some fun times . I wish him the bestWe went to Friday night grudge at LACR every other week for a couple years, had a blast.

Nice words. Sounds like he's one of the good racers, people offering parts and help. Bunch of good racers.The explanation of what went down yesterday from Shane T. Well the towel is officially in.
After a hurculean effort, we changed the Converter (to our non lockup) replaced the input shaft in the Quick Drive and went through the entire Lenco trans unit, only to find the starter gear had broken on the starter, we changed that, then went to let the car off the projack, and the front jack wouldn’t operate so we had to use a floor jack to get the car down to make the run.
We ran our best numbers of the weekend to the middle without the lockup, but it was not meant to be as we knocked the rear corner of the head out on the passenger bank of around 1000 ft and coasted to a 5.67 at just 250, finally a problem for which we have no solution.
Its time to say a big thanks for the help to a few people without which we would not have even made the call.
John Scialpi who went through the Lenco for us.
Joe Bettencourt who as soon as he could see the thrash offered his help.
Mike Maggio who immediately offered us his spare transmission.
Rod Tschiggfrie and Donny Speer, of Team Sorceress, who when they learned of our plight, unloaded their already loaded race car out of the trailer and started disassembling it to loan us parts.
Thanks to everyone for their support and praise. We have had a hell of an event and season. We thank you all!

You should keep the gate closed, motley looking crew there. Up to no good i'm sure.
