I had a rotten time at the shootout this year. The work that I was having done to my bird was supposed to be done on Thursday afternoon but was not finished till Saturday morning. I arrived at the hotel after 1 1/2 hour drive and my event registration must have been accidently been wiped from the computer and they had no record of me applying even though I had done so several weeks before. "I did not realize that my registration would be wiped if not payed for and thought that It would be there and I would pay at the event" I registered and pay but when I got trough there was no food left " I did not see any for lunch so I was disgusted and angry so I did not want to be around anybody" so I went over to cracker barrel restraint so I could have lunch. I went to check in for my hotel room and they lost my reservation and I finally got my room after about 20 minutes of searching for it. I ran my car 6 times even through I had the slips I was shoved into the bracket class even though I had a 12.02 a 11.8 and a 12.3 time slips. I decided to no longer to participate in any more racing after that and put my car on the trailer and leave. I did not want to watch any more racing or awards being given out so I went back to the hotel so I could get a good parking space. I got up as early as I could since I had a 750 mile drive home. I am not planning on attending next year but making a trip to Washington DC instead.
I would have done better if I had better drag tires I am going to have to go from a 255 60 16 26 inches tall to a 275 55 17 drag tire 28 inches tall tire. I had to pull the timing back 3 degrees cutting the power by 30 or more and it helped some and that was flashing it from idle and not foot stalling it any when I tried to it just instantly roasted the tires.
