Runner Up Again

[jbharris]

Well, last weekend was fun. Friday we tried to race the Mopar Race at South Mountain. Ended up getting rained out. That wasn't a bad thing since my alternator was dead and we were only running on the battery. Saturday we walked Carlisle. I picked up a couple items and stopped at Autozone for a new alternator. Sunday back to the Mountain new alternator installed. Had one of the oddest days at the track. Had to re-run first round due to a photographers flash messing up the timing system. That was good since I red lit 1st. The 2nd 1st round I was on point. 2nd I took out our clubs points leader. Handful of ok round later on to the final. My little Valiant was great and I even managed to put together a nice run. Broke out by .009. We'll win one eventually.

Really cool man! I always looked at breaking out as a win. Regardless, you're going faster. That's really what it's all about anyway.

The nice part about rain out on Friday was not having to pay to race on Sunday.

Its a basic 340/904 setup. Runs 11.90-12.30's in the 1/4. In the heat that day we were running 7.70-7.80's. I try not to beat on it too hard in the heat.
