finally!!!!

After a year and a half I had the opportunity to run on a 1/4 mile track to see what car ran after gear change. As usual last run of the night was the best and it was a solo pass 13.332 @ 102.98. I still haven't installed the delete plates or the LCA's. Overall pretty happy except for the average times was in the low 12's. Most cars were early 70's novas and just about all cars had hedders, cams and slicks. I guess since it's not so hot now its time to get out the wrenches.....lol. The track was Red River Raceway north of Shreveport. Very nice track but only open on Friday nights for T & T until end of Nov. still had a blast as usual though.

I was surprised to find that anyone running 13.90 or faster had to wear a helment (unless it was your first time there). Later guys

Congrats on getting out there

not first time at track but all the tracks where I live near Lewisville, texas are 1/8 mile tracks. I am doing some contract work in Shreveport where I am originally from so I stay at my mothers and have the chance to get to the 1/4 mile track. I am pretty happy with the last pass I made. Through the course of the night My first pass was 13.68 and after tweaking my timing I finally got to the 13.30's, I just need to get my 60' times down to less than 2.00. There are several speed shops in shreveport so I think I will ha ve the LCA's installed instead of doing it my self, hopefully that will cure the "wheel chatter" problem.

I know how you feel, Terry. It seems like my trips to a 1/4-mi track are about 2 years apart, also. Good thing I love 1/8-mi racing!! The only real downside is that I don't have the chance to set new personal bests in the 1/4 every week or two.
