Why Class Racing Is COOLER!

[JP1738]

I appreciate the kind words and shoutout, Gump!! I've worked incredibly hard this winter on BOTH cars (yes the sst car still runs 10.90 but it needed a freshen up and a set of rods, so I've had that going on too). I would, if you all don't mind, like to give a readers digest of what my last 10 days have been like to give you all an idea of how crazy it's been for me this winter. Mind you every weekday of this synopsis I also worked a full day and drove straight to the shop afterward to make progress.

2/12- Replace fuel regulator and needle/seats in my Mazda after they failed on first start up (I had spent the week prior putting that car back together)
2/13- Dress stocker motor and get it sat in the car
2/14 and 2/15/25- shockingly I do have a girlfriend (for now) so these days were off limits
2/16- after church, driveshaft, transmission lines, converter bolts, shifter linkage
2/17- ignition system, alternator, plugs, headers, q-jet, throttle, water pump, radiator, shroud, wiring, starter, oil pressure, etc.
2/18- first fire up and health check, lash valves, replace wheel cylinder, bleed brakes, put wheels/tires back on
2/19- first drive around the block, trans fluid, load up and organize trailer
2/20- work half day at work and drive 10 hours to Orlando
2/21- Race D2 opener, went .30 faster than I've ever been in my stocker and went a blistering .67 under!
2/22- Lose first round and drive 10 hours back home
2/23- went to local track and bracket raced in footbrake for more seat time, got home around 6 after losing 3rd round, took the transmission out of my mazda, swapped flexplates and starters, reinstalled everything, went to bed at midnight
2/24- writing this at work lol.

I'm working really hard on my entire program, and I don't mean to brag, but I'm really proud of everything I've been able to accomplish. Now to work on those results on race day.
