Great weekend before surgury

As I was scheduled for surgery, on my right shoulder, early Tuesday morning, and it was to be the only chance I get to race for a while, my son put the old Super Chiefs back on the 606.

5/26/08
Went to the track this week end. It rained all day Saturday, so I didn't even unload. Sunday, it started clearing up in late morning. I was just there to test. On the first pass, the engine died when I matted the throttle against the trans brake. Pass aborted! Marty pulled the intermediate air bleeds and lowered the floats. I got one pass in before it started to rain again.

60' 1.1992
330' 3.4251
1/8 ET 5.3088
1/8 MPH 131.75
1/4 ET 8.3011
1/4 MPH 162.47

Monday, I entered the Top Dragster class (minimum dial 8.49). I made one qualifying pass.

60' 1.2250
330' 3.4309
1/8 ET 5,2951
1/8 MPH 132.36
1/4 ET 8.2711
1/4 MPH 165.41

1st round: I dialed 8.27 and was paired with a dragster with a 7.67 dial.

60' 1.2028
330' 3.4207
1/8 ET 5.2908
1/8 MPH 132.01
1/4 ET 8.2689 oops!
1/4 MPH 162.56 and I let off right at the line, because he wasn't there.
He was .013 off his dial, but I was .0011 under mine. Oh well! maybe I can get a few runs in later in the season.

Here's a couple of pictures:
