Live from SGMP
 
Well we made the 4hour trip this morning with no issues so the weekend is starting off on a positive note. There just starting to let us in so now to get parked and ready for the weekend. I'm happy to be racing again. I was just about fished out. Just kidding

Well I said the trip down had gone smoothly and I thought it had. While I was setting in line to get in someone said you know you have a flat on your trailer I said no but that doesn't surprise me. Sure enough the right front is flat and I had driven on it a long way. So a tire monitor system is in order I just cant hear or feel it in the coach. My question is what's everyone using and do they work OK?

I ran the T&T yesterday and it went ok as far as the car running and my driving but I did have one problem. My trans cooler started leaking it looks like a stone hit it so I've removed it and will run this race with out it. I know its done but I've always run a cooler. Any one out there run with out a cooler in .90 racing any problems. I plan on replacing it before Atlanta. Thanks

I've been using a TPMS unit for the last two years, (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). I tow a goose with tri-axle and overall very happy, re how it functions. Once your set up you only check it on occasion because the alarm mode advises when danger is near, ( low or high pressure as well as temp.)

I had one drag the track one time and caught on fire so I looped the hose around not really a big deal you can use a leaf blower etc. to cool the transmission in between rounds

I run the Pressure Pro setup: https://pressurepro.us/

But, have heard really good reports on the TST systems: https://tsttruck.com/

Re: Live from SGMP
 
Well here's the plan for today. Storms are heading this way and there going to try and get at least the first round in before they hit. So S/St will be first out 9am then the rest of the normal rotation and fit JRs in if there's time after first round.

How many Super Street racers showed ?

Robbie Welch 04-24-2021 02:21 PM

Re: Live from SGMP
 
Jake I'm not sure maybe 40. Well I was a 1st round R/U AGAIN late 027 and slow 10.93 the kiss of death. So its cheer on my friends that are still in then head to Atlanta. Drag racing and fishing are a lot alike. I didn't catch the big one today but I might the next time out. So its off to Atlanta to see if I can catch the BIG one. The rain has set in and I doubt that they'll race anymore today. One good note, I found a pond to fish in. May be the big ones in there? You never know.

Who is that guy in the blue truck? And what is he doing there? Lol
You could probably come fish where I was parked. It turned into a lake shortly after I moved. I came by your trailer a couple of times this weekend.

Re: Live from SGMP
 
Regan I did go fishing behind your trailer in the pond in the wood edge. I didn't find the big one there either. I'll stop by and introduce myself. The schedule is on nhradiv2 facebook page it looks like we start at 9 with Jrs then back to the normal rotation. Good luck to all.

Thanks for the kind words Robbie. It's always good to put a face with a name. I had good time this weekend and got to see and meet a few people I seldom see. I was off and the truck was off (that parts still on me). Kevin and I had a good race second round although better for him.
This was my daughter's 36th Birthday week and she chose to ride to Hell and Back with me for one race. We haven't done that in 16 years. I have 5 races left for the season so I better get after it. Thanks again and good to meet you.

Re: Live from SGMP
 
We were lined up for first round here. I've seen a lot of things on the starting line. This one is funny though. The Camaro in front of me left his right taillight on the line. I pointed at it and they picked it up. I rode by his trailer and asked him if he went and got it. He did and said he just got the car back from the paint shop. I had to ask who put it in and he said the paint shop did. It was good for a laugh anyhow.
