I did something this past weekend that I have never done in eliminations before, I had a perfect light (aka a red light that didn't happen). There were 6 cars left, and the .000 RT got me the bye into the final. Only the 2nd time I've made a final with the black car. Then I red lit in the final. All in all a good weekend to go 7 rounds to the final, its been quite a while. It was a good thing the other guy red lit since I was .003 slow and he was .003 fast. The guy that I raced this round was running on motor only, but with spray his car goes into the 7's in the 1/4. I've seen some videos of his car and it can put the back bumper on the ground, very impressive.

Thanks Pop! That was the first time since last June I got to run 1/4 mile. The low rear tire air pressure really makes you dance around on the top end of the track.

WELL,,OL POP has been 69 yrso for 10days,,and as being's I am as healthy as pretty much can be..I got to thinking about grd son's little ford race car just sitting at my shop and he is not ever planning on driving it anymore cause he has moved up to the OPEN WHL MODIFIEDS,,my son realy didn't want to sell it....it's a winning car,and in perfect shape,,,,so OL POP is entertaining the thought of getting back into dirt raceing,,,,it's been 8 or so yrs since I gave my car to my son,,he offered it back to me ,but I said NO ! cause you have it set up for you,,,so I'll just take over CORY'S car and reset it for my driving style..AND of course SON AND CORY said go for it ,,what ever I want to do.....so here in a couple of weeks,or maybe the sat after PF,,OL POP is gonna strap in and give it a shot...may stay with it may not,,but am gonna put the best foot forward,,,,my health stopped me before,,but it seems all that is behind me....we'll see.....POP is a piss poor on looker,,,,I love to watch those boys drive,,,,but will love it better looking thru a shield from the track.....while wearing a helmet with a fire suit on......wish me luck !! pop
