Hillbilly racing 5-20-2012
The wife and I with a car load of grandkids went racing Sunday
Took the Nova to see how it would do with the new torque converter. Even though very hot and humid, the Deuce could not have performed better. On a 6.95 dial, slowest pass was a 6.992 and the quickest a 6.949, 60’s 1.530s, all at just under 99 MPH. With the new converter the car is leaving quicker, so I kept tripping the red bulb. Taylor and Devin ran their JR dragsters as well, with Devin beating older sister in the finals. Devin’s car was dead on all day, running close to his 11.30 dial. His lights were not great, but by running close to his dial, good enough to take home the first place trophy. Taylor’s car was having carb issues, so was not real consistent, ran a 9.60 then slowed to a 10.20, and she was like me, wanting to leave early. All in all, a great day of racing.

As basic as it gets. This is the tower at Newport. Take notice of the PVC pipe and bucket. After a run, the two times slips are joined by a wooden clothes pin, then dropped into the bucket, where you, someone with you, or even someone with the other team gets your slip for you.
