Hard work pays off

Today we buckled down and got to work on getting these cars straightened out and at least for now it paid off . It was the first day of the 2nd division 7 race of the year . Dave and I both made two qualifying runs . Dave went first at about 930AM and after spending a few hours looking at data all the back to last year I came up with a setup I felt would get us close to the 9.05 index . After running 9.20 and 9.21 yesterday we needed a good run to get everybody in a better mood. The changes I made paid off with 9.07 only 2 hundredths off the index . Now it was time to see if the changes I made to the chassis on my car worked . My first pass came at about 1230PM and car went straight down the middle of the track to 7.541 so two for two so far . I did red-light by a mere 8 thousands , but in qualifying that doesn't matter . I just needed a little more delay in the box to fix that . They changed the order for Q2 so I ran before Dave . Once again she went down the middle with a little bit faster 7.528 and .002 reaction time , I'm stoked . Back to the trailer to get Dave ready . Dave's run dragster runs a very close 9.039 only .011 of the index so both cars are right where we want to be . So a few prayers and a little elbow grease and some good results . Now if we can do the same tomorrow we might have a good weekend . I'm done for the night . Check in tomorrow and find out how day two goes .
