first pass :i get ready to race and my wide band stops working
then there was some "confusion" from track officials sbout letting
laptops in the truck during runs . i was told no laptop .
frustrated that i am surronded by people that can help and no way
to log wideband or datamaster i pull up . i bring it upon boost and
the IC hose pops off before the lights come down. tighten clamp
when i get back to pits after looking a fool .
second pass : track officials decide to let laptops in if bungied
to the seat well . at least i have datamaster to log with . bring it
up on boost launch at 8 lbs truck moves about 10 feet and the
IC hose blows off again . after looking a fool again some fellow
syty folks help find a new clamp .
third pass : pull out onto the track and mr butthead track burnout
official says no laptop . i argue with him saying the staging track official says
its ok but knuclehead won't let me stage with the lap in the truck .
i hand the laptop to mr butthead track official and stage .
light come down i get a .000 reaction time - 1.79 60 foot -
truck is finally making a decent run and i see some thing besides the
back of a the syclone truck i have been racing .
and then i think about mr butthead and the truck noses over hard -
i look at the tach 6100 rpm i am late on the shift to third -
the truck finally recovers after probably 1-1.5 seconds 13.23
shoulda woulda coulda been a 12.70ish run
4rth pass : wait in line , calm down about mr butthead , then about
10-15 minutes before its time to run a car heavily oils down the track
and its to late in the evening for the track to claen it up .no more runs
summary : hoses that never blew off did , 1 track official a butthead .
i cut a good light and blow the only decent run . still had a good time
with help from fellow syty folks
robert's truck from sweden is well prepared and runs awesome .
there was only a couple of cars there faster than his bottom 9's
and none looked as sedate and sinister sneeky as his .
can't wait for saturday racing .
