Hopefully this thread will grow Sunday

Then at 2:40 they call 12.0 up and there is just three of us, I get a by, and stood by Victoria waiting my turn, The Dart showed up and ran a 12:79 and the suv ran a 11:24
so know I have the adrenaline pumping knowing if I take the time and get me a good soft yet good light I can win this thing and receive a trophy on this day :D
My friend took control of my camera and said you can do this Mike :cheers:
I came out and just a short amount of tire spin and then I matted it and had him a good car length or close to it is what my friend said, I got a great light or he cut a bad one :dontknow:, Cooool here I go!! went for second gear and missed it :violent1::violent1::sad1:, when for it again and missed it :angry7:
I just shut it down and drove back to my shade tree parking area :(
I was about 80 yards from the tower so I just sat down :(
My friend said hold your head high you raced and I missed what the track announcer said about me, be happy and remember it's not easy to shift under pressure especially a three on the tree for your first race of the year and come back next week :cheers:
But Dang it man I had him beat and could have picked up a Trophy for me and my fabo family :(..... So I decided to go to the tower and get my slip and it was dumped already, they have a 4'' pvc tube they drop it down in a bucket to be picked up and dump it for the next class witch was for the 7:00 class by the time I walked over to look at it :( But my friend took a picture of my time on the display sign after my race ..

I will go back and learn by what happened, grease my shifting linkage good and learn to get it in gear before I release the clutch :oops:

Not a good day but one thing I did learn is the distributor sure made a giant difference, before I had it in there was no way I could spin that long off the line, and never even get a scratch hitting second nun less spinning for 15 feet or more.....................Here I am cleaning my tires of making him wait on me and the the launch ...................... sorry I let some folks down on George Rays Birthday race day...

so here is me scuffing the tires off making him wait on me and my launch and I shut it down when I mist second gear :banghead: dang three on the tree..
