whew i'm burnt. it was hotter than hell this weekend in bako.
was too hot to wrench on the boat friday afternoon so we all left the pit and headed for the greatest mexican joint on earth. 12 people + dinner + too many tecate's and the bill was only like 210 bucks.
the finish line bar got wrecked both firday and saturday night by red cup racing.
RCB may never be the same. the 302 kicked his rods out good.
Saturday I spent the whole day under the boat changing loaders, shoes, shims etc trying to get my boat to stay hooked up all the way down the track. motor was running bitchin even in the hot air.
ran a couple of 8.85's at 117 mph and change but nothing great. made 2 or 3 half track passes where the boat just blew the tail 300 feet past the starting line.
Sunday i hit paydirt with the hardware, the boat finally came around and ran an 8.70 at 120 mph against Blue Wonder in round one of ubfj. we both red lit but mine was worse and he beat me good.
I had entered the 9.00 bracket so i was screwed and had to try and slow the boat down to run it. Steve Rauscher took me out when i unsuccessfully fender raced my way to a 9.37 et.
aside from the drink fest at the bar, those were the highlights for me.
maybe hbjet can throw up some video later on.
who's got the pics?
thanks to HB for the awesome pit work. you are a trooper. Thanks for the Red Cup crew for ignoring my loud generator and letting me slide into their pit for the weekend. and thanks to Brule, Ebbert, McClure, Warrick, Braun, Starkweather, Williams and all the other guys that helped me out.
