2 for 2 in Vegas

 . I'd have to say Saturday couldn't have gone much better . We each had one more qualifying pass and then first round of competition . Dave's last qualifying run produced a 9.068 just a little more than a hundredth of the index . Q3 was my quickest run at a 7.514 and we ended up in the 20th spot on the qualifying sheet out of 34 but I once again red lit , ok in qualifying but I can't do that on the next run or I'll gone . We felt pretty good about the way every thing looked going into round one and back to the trailer to got ready . Dave's class is the largest with 130 cars in so even after first round there will 65 cars left . Dave was up first and we needed to make an ajustment because the wind had picked up . It's about 2pm when we run and the dragster goes 9.050 dead nuts for the win and with the perfect ET we grab number number one spot and with an odd amount of cars in round two we get a bye run tomorrow into round three . Sweeeeet . It's a long wait for my run we're last up so it's 7 o'clock when we roll in and it's cooler than on any other run we made so we should be a little faster . We put a 7.50 on the window for our dial in and it's time to go . Our opponent is dialed at 6.92 so he has to spot me .58 seconds and neither one of us can go faster than our dial or we loose . I run 6.51 and his 6.91 is to fast so I get the win . My light wasn't great but is was a ton better than his and it wasn't red .We both get to race tomorrow . We shot some new video today so as soon as I edit it i'll post it . Well it's 12.30 and i'm beat . See ya tomorrow .Kenny Speed
