Default Another Great weekend! and a smooth start to the new Goodguys race season

Like I said another Great weekend! and a smooth start to the new Goodguys race season, I had a few updates to the car for the new season, the biggest change is the front wheels width, I stepped up to a 9.5" wheel and a 275-40-17 tire, I rolled the fender wells a little. During the first run the turn-in was almost to great, the car was turning so quick it made the rear end a little loose, so I added a little toe in and that smoothed it out some, with the wider front tires the steering input from me had to be smoother so the car was less jerky....after my shake down run the adjustments worked and I ran faster,




It was a weekend battle with a freind of mine from Southern California Brett Cambell from the Fab53.com shop it was a good day saturday and and afterwards we went to Rob MacGregor's motor home for a corn toss game and some beers



Brett was also going faster all weekend and his final run sealed it I couldnt get Jane to get there without one more run, I ran only 5 runs all weekend, 1 less than everyone else because they moved me inside the show grounds next to the Pros and they said because I was moved I lost that turn in the line-up

heres a pic of Brett on his winning run


I gave it one last run and the timing was over at 12:00 sunday and I finished in second



Time to pack it up and head to Del Mar Goodguys
