Grudge race fun
I finally got the chance to go back to the track last Wednesday. It was the first time out since I changed from an Electric Maziere water pump back to a belt driven pump. I wasnt sure how much that would cost me in ET. And it was B@lls hot and humid...lol..The 1st hit was bad. I spun the tires bad, let out then back on it. I ran 7.07 @ 100 mph. As I let it cool down for another run i watched the other cars there. I saw a Tesla there running really good. I saw a couple 6.7-6.80 passes. @ 101 mph. As I made it back to the lanes, me in the right lane behind 2 other cars with nobody in the left ( right lane has a reputation for working better ) the Tesla pulled inot the left and waited for me. I knew he was gonna wait to run me. Sure enough he did. We lined up, he tree'd me a little but i was around him in 1st gear and pit about 2 cars on him. I went 7.58@104 he went 7.78 @ 101. After he gave me a thumbs up and waved. After a while I went for another pass and sure enough there he was again. Wanted to try it 1 more time. This time he left way early, but i still got around him before the end. My 7.58 @ 104.8 to his 7.88 @ 101. Both were rally fun races.
Next day I find out he has a Youtube channel where he post his video races " beating up" on Muscle cars both modern and classic. I'm waiting to see if he posts these.😁 He does have some neat videos. |

Rematch, sorry for red lighting! (again!)
Sorry for red lighting on you again Scott! I know just how fast your Firebird is, so I cut it too close at the tree. (-0.007 this time)
A real shame too, since our ETs were so very close. That’s 3 wins for you, zero for the Tesla! https://youtu.be/HoEV73cmmRg (Last run of the night) Looking forward to running again some time- |

 If he wasn't a tool he would've typed "left early on Firebird and still got driven around"! Again great jib! |

Are you spinning at the start seems like a lot of mph for a 7.5 pass?? And 7.8 at 101 seems like a lot of mph.
