Had a real good time at teh Pinks All Out Race at Houston Raceway Park on the 17th. The event went fairly smoothly, and was all done by about 1015 that night.
Ratt I stretched the blower belt during the 1st burnout, and wound up running a sub-par 11.05, with about 17 psi boost max !! The driver continued the burnout too long and when the tires bit, it pulled the engine down quickly and likely damaged the belt... it jumped off just a tad before the finish line as the boost fell out and teh alt light came on. D'oh.
Anyway, on her 2nd qualifying pass, she threw down a perfect 10.000... if not for the poor 1st pass, I mighta got a chance to race teh auto cars with the ole 6 spd !! Oh, well, that is racing ! Here is a link to the 2nd pass vid, against a mean Lightning:
