Had a horrible night. Caught in the rain, car ran badly, and I went out first round.
In spite of that, I still had a great time. 200 mph jet truck, 6 second street cars, nitro funny cars and ladies with not alot of clothes on made the night ok

Pete you let the truth out, it was not the cars fault you went out first round....it was your lack of ability to keep your eyes fixed on the last yellow instead of the "bobbling babe" walking the fence line at about the 330' mark!
Desert, is that your car? If so I think we were pitted next to you guys last year - I was driving dad's chevelle that day - here is a photo that might remind you of it.

BSD runs a .500 pro tree and I can only muster a best reaction time of
.070 with .085 being typical.
If I race a car slower than mine, I can usually holeshot him, but when I run a 10 second car, they seem to do a better job of slapping a holeshot on me.

yeah not too many near 4000 lb cars pullin the wheel like that! On that run I was grabbin 2nd gear right at the 60' mark and rode it down the track 180ft like that!
If I recall your was yankin em pretty good too - think till you put the wheelie bars on it.
We put some limiters on the front a-arms to keep our down....just touches down now right after the 60' mark...and now just got some afco front shocks for some better fine tuning.
SHould have the vette down there this weekend for some runs on the new solid rear......hope she doesn't get too crazy!
