I qualified number #1 on Saturday on our second hit with a 6.70 and 208mph I knew it had some more in it as driver short shifted.... I left the tune up the same as last year fuel, timing, and clutch best pass last year was a 6.66 at 206 mph. I did not make a 3rd qualifier as I knew no one would come around me and both my dad and brother hurt their backs that day just doing nothing, but as anyone whose injured their backs before it doesn't take much
so I figured let them have a break. First round of eliminations I dialed a 6.70 figuring if I past the guy I would just let off and go around him he dialed a 7.60 in a injected BBC Altered. As it comes down to it I was on what felt like an awesome pass hit the shifts and I was like wondering why the xxxx I hadn't past Peter yet xxxx did I sleep at the lights. Closing the gap getting closer and closer hand on the chutes past him right before the traps with the chutes out and off the throttle 6.55 at 210. I see my win light come on!!! as it came down Peter broke out by .001 more than me! Second round I went over the car checked lash, zeroed out the clutch, and checked the timing. Decided I would dial a 6.50, ran an injected BBC dragster who dialed a 7.48 he was out aways on me by the time I started coming down the track, I launched the car it was feeling good had to do a quick blip of the throttle as it started to spin hit the shift into second car was pulling hard hit third gear and it hauling ass! I went by the dragster and saw the win light come on ran a 6.506 at 213MPH new personal best on both sides. In the final round a dialed a 6.48 against Dewayne Sanders 6.78 dial we both took off him in the lead I got out about 60' and went into shake than the shift light came on hit second and the car broke loose and went right like I hit a slick spot on the track and crossed the center line........ The worst part about this is I had the race won Dewayne red lit
