Where are
I am still here.
Been on vacation for a while and took in a 3 good races.
Ohio Valley had a great Saturday ET race. Over 60 cars in 1st round of 2 classes. Mostly 60-70 door cars.
Bowling Green had a 3 day $20000 race. Went on Sunday. Almost all 4 second dragsters. Over 100 in first round. Got bored at that one.
Dragway 43 in Lawrenceburg Tennesse had a great Pro Mod race. 18 Pro Mods racing for 8 spots. My friends from Illinois were there with their twin turbo 2007 Mustang and qualified 7th @4.22.
The LOWMAD Nomad won @ 3.94. Has been 3.58.
Anyway now that I am back home it is too hot to enjoy racing. Been around 100 degrees for a week or more and going to be this week too.
Been staying in the garage and working on other people rides in the A/C.

I've been working on my truck a bunch. I could write a book about all the stuff that went wrong. It got to a point it was funny. Fix one thing and something else happens.
It was all simple stuff like leaks, carb. needle stuck and filled motor full of gas. Had to go get and borrow parts. Broke a nos fitting, had to go get parts. First time ever cranking the motor the water pump died.
Literally had somebody putting a new motor on the water pump while I was in the drivers meeting. Ran over my tent leg with the golf cart. Nitrous wiring problem (my fault of course), BUT I GOT IT DOWN THE TRACK . Well one good time till the wiring problem got me.
Took the nitrous timers and wiring out and starting from scratch with a new 3 stage controller instead of the little timers and relays I had.
