DragCat Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Oh well, at least they gave enough heads up time , we'll see what happens next weekend 4 Quote
DragCat Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 Looks like its a GO for this weekend 🤘Friday T&T Saturday race day. Taking the DD to get some seat time, gonna have to run footbrake class which puts me at a disadvantage but it is what it is. Schedule looks like i'l take the Monte after Carlisle, glad I'm not missing a race but wouldn't miss Carlisle ! 6 1 2 Quote
bob 71 Posted June 6 Posted June 6 talked to a friend he said only 1 t/t day so far. no racing rain too wet track under water 1 Quote
DragCat Posted June 6 Author Posted June 6 Yea ive only done one T&T back in March ☹️ hence needing more seat time before I bring the Monte 1 Quote
DragCat Posted June 7 Author Posted June 7 Not a lot of cars last nite, probably due to the weather, it rained at the house earlier in the afternoon. Because of the lack of cars, almost everyone was making single passes, I only had 1 run with a car in the other lane. We'll see what happens today. But I had my best R/T yesterday, cut a .002 lite 🤘 And to beat a hooligan from saying it, yes, even a blind squirrel finds a acorn sometimes 🤣 7 1 Quote
DragCat Posted June 9 Author Posted June 9 Yesterday was a long day, a good day, and hot AF 🤣 Saw some staff and drivers from the old local track which was also a good thing. Car count was down again, because of the sketchy weather so everyone was texting everyone that we were going racing and come on down. Just a little info, in Va ive raced "street class " the progression in classes is normally street, footbrake, and super pro. This weekend was only footbrake and super pro so I knew I was at a disadvantage. But with bracket racing I knew I at least had a chance, because it's all computerized on times. Don't worry Dennis, I'll address your whining on racers messing with the computer in round 3 🤣 Anyway, because of the low car count, they let super pro buy into footbrake and vice versa. More races and I still had a chance. Test run 1, left lane, I ran a 9.02. Test run 2 right lane I ran a 9.80. Round 1, I picked the left lane and was aggressive on my dial in. red bulbed because I was also aggressive when I bumped in ☹️ Obviously lost. Round 2, probably the best run, we both were bumper to bumper crossing the finish line. Still lost 🤣 Round 3, mistakes a plenty 🤣 raced a friend from the old track, fast racer, Super Pro, and tried to be not so aggressive on my dial in and bumping in. What I didnt know he was having car issues. I left first obviously, checked the mirror , saw him leave, checked again and he wasn't catching me like I thought he should. checked again and he wasn't next to me. Racer mind should have been hit the brakes ( there ya go Dennis🤣) but I didnt and lost again. Lesson re-learned, focus on your race not the other car. So this weekend was good, got some cobwebs/ rust outta me, and raced all day. The Monte should be running races next at the end of the month 🤘 6 Quote

420ponies Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Don't have things worked out yet on my Monte. I was planning on going if everything was right with the car. Just not to my liking right now. Should be ready for Syracuse in a few weeks. You all have a great time there................pictures would be nice! 4 Quote
DragCat Posted June 26 Author Posted June 26 Still no word on T&T so I'm figuring a NO 🙃 I guess because of the heat, they moved the time runs to 5pm instead of noon and racing into the night. Oh well, I'll be in the DD 2 Quote
DragCat Posted June 29 Author Posted June 29 Well..........the weather was sketchy but went anyway, DD. Looked like we might miss the rain but then the lightning started and they called it Oh well, maybe next weekend 2 Quote

Of course 🤣 They also wanted me to keep my wristband 😲 Ive worn one for a whole weekend of racing but never had to bring back on a rain out. Just taped it to the tech card and put it in the console 😁 2 Quote
