Well the 2020 race season is over

well if “smart bracket racing jay” would leave well enough alone... yeah, I could certainly be a threat about anywhere. Three years ago with the 727, 4150 intake, braswell 4825 carb and the right converter we were going 1.34 60 EVERYWHERE!! The car was incredibly predictable... so much so at one track we had a left lane and right lane dial. Of course “hot rod time slip chaser jay” comes to party and we changed to 904, 4500 intake, dominator by Thump and are now learning 9 teen combos. I’m still on a 10.5 tire so once again... not bracket ideal.

I get the “boring” side of racing.... there are events that you attend that you get 1 or 2 hits and then go into eliminations the next day. Four days at the track can get a bit tiresome to say the least, but battling through large fields of cars is your reward if you’re worthy. personally I prefer to find races that interest me at different places. Racing points at the same track vs the same people.... you can have that. Mopar specific events... maybe a heads up match race deal once in awhile. Mostly about finding fun places to hang out with my racing friends.

What I’d REALLY like to do?? Have about 4 engines all set up and a decent chassis and go dirt track modified racing! :)
Like the “can’t leave well enough alone “!

For me, this is the most exciting part of racing. Since I know very little everything is new and changes come around quickly, some good, some not so good:p

I understand where Jpar is coming from as in other forms of racing you do lap after lap and get multiple chances to make changes in one session. When I was racing motorcycles and karts a typical weekend would look like this.

Friday, two or three 20 minute practice sessions.

Saturday, morning two or three 20 minute practice sessions, afternoon two 15 minute qualifying sessions.

Sunday, morning two 20 minute practice sessions, afternoon, 10-20 lap race depending on the track length.

Raced at Willow Springs and Fontana mostly so in the summertime you would normally be doing all that in 100+ degree temps. Racing bikes had the added enjoyment of wearing racing leathers!

It’s all fun, I just need to be more focused now since I don’t get as many “chances”.
