Memorial Day Weekend @ the Motorplex definitely did not disappoint! Friday we get out to test and it didn't go super great. We made 2 passes and the car is struggling with the launch and idling. We swap plugs, no change. Makes power down track but doesn't leave the starting line well at all. So at midnight we decide to unhook the trailer and make the 2 hour trip back home to grab all my ignition stuff off the dragster, just in case we were having a problem there. Get back to the track at 4am. Got a couple hours of sleep and got to work on the car before race day starts. Seemed like this made a small bit of improvement but not where I want it. Saturday we are still trying to test while we race, end up going out 3rd round. Sunday comes and we decide to make a bigger swing at the car and just roll with it. 8 rounds later we come up one winlight short of the W. Best race of the day came in round 6, Nick and I landed on the ladder together in the quarter finals. For our first race against eachother ever. And it didn't disappoint. Side by side smoky burnouts, sitting at the starting line while we wait for the smoke to clear then proceed to give a killer race which ended on a double breakout that had to of gone to the .000x. Monday rolls around and we continue on to back to back final rounds and coming up just short of the W both days. Not bad for the first weekend out with the firebird in 2 years.
