I have a new best time!!!

12.487 @ 113.486 /1.785 60 ft !!!!!

My car LOVES the night air!!!

The new mods are on!! (click Mods to see them-they're in order from newest to oldest)  It took a few weeks, but all the parts are working perfectly and fine tuned now.

4 Aug 03:  The National Dragster Challenge was the first meet where all was really working and tuned to my taste.  I made it to the final 6 out of a 74 car field, and the car ran great and consistent.

17 Aug 03: Second leg of the Triple Crown at SANAIR...didn't win, but had a wonderful day!  169 cars registered in the class 7.50/12.99 for the event.  They had a first run buy back (get back into the race), which everyone took advantage of, so it was like a 340 car field!  The place was packed (hadn't seen that many cars in 15 years, aside from the Grand National)...and both sides of the stands were 3/4+ full (7k people)!!

It was sunny now and then, so that played heavily on the dial in's later on.

First run, draw a 57 Nomad that runs low 9's.  They have a two car team (57 Chevy sedan), full caged cars 60k+ each with a double decker transporter, pit crews, and all!  BLEW HIM AWAY with a holeshot and he broke out!

Second run, draw a 8.6s 68 Nova (delay box/crossover) the whole 9 yards, blow him away on a holeshot also.  He didn't run his time.

Third run, draw a Super Pro Road Runner, he was way behind (horrible light), braked, and won easily.  The times showed it was slowing down due to the heat.

Fourth run, draw a roadster (8.3s).  Close race, nearly identical lights, but he broke out more than I did (the changing weather I spoke of).

Fifth run, draw a dragster that runs 7.74, and get to the other end and he wasn't there, so I tapped the brakes and broke out by .001 (1/1000th of a second).

I showed a lot of people that the slowest car can run with the best and richest...

I am very proud of my day and can't wait til the last leg of the Triple Crown because I can win it as easily as anyone else.

Got a check and a nice medal, my wife talked to the dragster driver and he was sure I had him, he couldn't believe I run my times so close with a manual and have the guts to brake against a dragster[50 mph diff at the end].

I got many congrats from the competitors and the fans. The M6 blows them away !!!!
