A good day at the track

Now That's A Burnout  
Well today made up for yesterdays debacle . I'm worn out so tonight's blog won't be long . We made two qualifying  runs with both cars today . First Dave's car , pass number one goes 8.954 a little to slow after another poor 60ft time . Q2 8.899 almost perfect and the 60ft time back to where it should be . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  Told ya I was tired , fell asleep while writing . We did come up with a idea of whats going on and maybe how to fix . We added 25lbs to the weight box in the front of his car . I'll let you know tomorrow if that helps and why it helped . Next , my car Q1 a little after noon ,right lane , 025 reaction time ( pretty darn good ) after a year long layoff  . Car goes right down Broadway 7.445  at 185.24 mph . Q2  goes off about 4:30 about an hour behind schedule  . I decided to try the left lane to see if I could see the tree over the hood scoop . Good news I can see just fine . What did I see ? I saw I got drilled on the tree (loss of concentration ) but we did run 7.446 again so that's real good . Two pair after my run we had a crash ( drivers ok ) but the crash along with the fact that they are already running late  cancelled Q3 for the both of us. Eliminations start at 8am with Dave's car going up at about 8:45 and my first round at about 11am . I'm done Good night all . Once again thanks for the great photos from my buddy Dee Myers . Kenny Speed
