Well it was a great day weather wise. Baro was not good. 29.32 all day long. But the old '98 run just like a good bracket car should.

First time shot .071 on the tree 11.818 @ 115.99 with a 1.678 sixty foot.

Second time shot .035 on the tree 11.814 @ 114.87 with a 1.665 sixty foot.

Very crowded today. Decided to pack up and head home at 3.

This past Wed. at E Town I went for a T&T just to get some data on my new converter.. & after a "Total" of 5 runs on my set up (3 last week) and 2 this past Wed. I told Doug Linke if I was racing this round I'd dial 11.75

I had a .000 light and ran 11.749 .... Guess that means I'll be racing Oct 28th (Sunday)

Lousy... First pass spun bad to a 12.4@110. Second pass around the 1/8th the truck shut off and would not refire. Cranks good, have fuel pressure, and no holes in the block!(Lightnings have a habit of doing that) Came home found no spark, and the plug I pulled was bone dry. So no spark or injector pulse. Going to check crank and cam sensors tomarrow.... always something!!!!

Plug fell off the Crank position sensor. The clip that locks the pigtail on the sensor is broken. Just need a new pigtail.
