I was at the track all weekend, making about 30 some passes. My car ran really strong all weekend with alot of low 15.2-15.1 and the one 15.099 pass. I had some issues with SC belt slip but that's another story. This was Friday night.
So Saturday morning comes around...
I decided to do some bracket racing to maybe make some money. Well.. after listening to everybody, I dialed in at 15.05. I ran steady 15.21's during the 3 test runs. So comes the time to the first round. I launch, zero spin, peddle the car out of the hole, and everything is perfect, 15+psi on stock gauge, track is really sticky, nice and cool outside also. As I get closer and closer to the finish line, I realize this is one hell of a run and I slam the brakes for a good second. I get my time slip and .... 15.047 on a 15.05 dial-in!!!! Reaction time... .509!!!! 60ft. 2.002!!! I was pissed..... well.. I was happy.. but I should have just stayed in it to see if I could have went 14.7's... so I brokeout, got elimanated.. ah well.
Later on Saturday, I decide to go for a few runs again. First run, 15.0 with lots of belt slip. Second run, 14.9 with lots of belt slip, third run.... 14.8 @ 91mph with a wack load of belt slip and squeel. I was amazed. Cause my car kept on surging as it made more boost. Well... as I was going down the track, i saw alot of smoke coming from the engine bay and so did everybody else. I get to the camp site, pop the hood... I smoked 6 of the 8 ribs right off the belt!!!! Time to fix that problem.
All in all.. great and amazing weekend. Props to St. Thomas for holding one killer event.
