Nitro Jam at PRP May 20-21

[Balaska347]

Bob, you have the Capri running great. I was pulling for you on Saturday and thought you were going to pull it off.

Shoot Bob, I thought you won Trophy. Who did win? I thought that was your wife in the truck. She was kicking butt! $1k to win Street both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, get her in there again! :D I wanted the Ironman, but I wouldn't have minded that plaque either, that's pretty sweet. You were running real nice Friday night too, nice light too.

Glenn was doing real well too, I think he was in the last 10 cars in Street too?

Ed, is that an easy fix?

If anyone has the prostalgia funny car pedalfest final online, post it up. That was wild. They were my favorites, but again, it was cool to see, hear, smell, and feel nitro at PRP. There is nothing like it. Seeing Manners go 4.50s at 250+ in the 1000' was cool too.

PRP staff did a great job of running the show, keeping everything moving, etc.

The bell holding heat issue I have heard before, too bad you can't drill holes in a $400 plus bell and keep cert, lol. You are my inspiration to get my junk back on the track, keep it up. data log data log.

LOL Bill, You are only off by about $250.00 on the cost of my bell ... But yeah, I need t osort out something.

I have a pile of data from the weekend. It's coming together.

That was the first time in a while my car was running the way I wanted it to. For the first time, in a long time, I thought it could win. It felt good to go some rounds for sure, still need to shake some new combo bugs.

I dont know who he is, a late model black Dodge, it was running 13 flat-ish, actually never saw it before.

I thought that was your wife in the truck. She was kicking butt! $1k to win Street both Saturday and Sunday this weekend, get her in there again! :D I wanted the Ironman, but I wouldn't have minded that plaque either, that's pretty sweet. You were running real nice Friday night too, nice light too.

I was proud of her in the truck. She found the tree after she figured out that 20" wheel rollout. If she had some time with it, she would likely kill us all ;) The good news is, she was excited enough that I might get her to do it more often.

:D Yep, threw away a good light for a timeslip Friday ;) As i've said, everyone there that knows me knew that car was going out the back door on that pass.

I still feel I got ripped on the ironman, but have let it go. The round my wife had the bye there was 7 cars ... the next round we had 5 cars (the round she lost). I had to go one more round and of course lost the clutch then. It's no big deal, but something was up there.

Glenn was doing real well too, I think he was in the last 10 cars in Street too?

Yes, Glenn was deep into that class too, was sort of wrapped up in my deal and lost track of where he went out, but he was deep into it for sure.

You was another round deeper at least too, I know you had that bye off the perfect light?? Same deal, lost track of when you all started to drop out.

PRP staff did a great job of running the show, keeping everything moving, etc.

Yes, exceptional ... When is the last time you got three time trials (Friday)? I hope they learned from the few snags (gates coming in Friday) and build on it ... It was fun to race in front of a packed house like that.

I was in the tower as you made that pass Friday night, thinking, LESS RPM AT THE STRIPE! LESS RPM!! :D

Yeah, that sounds hinky, to have a round of 7 cars, and then the next round have 5. Sorry to hear that.

Semi's/6th round for me, before Russ dropped a .019 package on me.

[Martin0660]

LESS RPM AT THE STRIPE! LESS RPM!! :D

C'mon, you know that's not possible, RPM should only go up

Not really, have few things to look at first. Hoping it's more an issue that Bob was seeing with hot clutch. I did end up making 8 passes saterday.

I still have to look at vid camera but I should have everything from the 2nd round of the show cars.

Edit: Yep got the pedal fest and umm Grave Digger got it's ass handed to it by 330'

Very unfortunate n tuff that all original Cuda and the Silver Mine Racein Camaro wreck't, woww! I actually think Glenn lost to Nick Bowman within the last handfull of cars.

I did lose to Nick near the end. Lost on the tree. One thing for sure about Nick Bowman is he can cut a light. I had a good time.
