Match Race at Carolina Dragway

First of all, thanks to Live Nation/IHRA for inviting us down to the ThunderJam event at Carolina Dragway to match race with Bob Gilbertson. We had a great time, the stands were overflowing with fans, and we had the opportunity to race in front of alot of our friends and family members that don't get to see us race very often.

Hats off to Bob. He beat us both races. In the first race, we didn't put enough power to the ground and I shook the tires a couple hundred feet out. It shook me out of the groove and as soon as I got out of the groove the tires smoked. On the second run I rattled the tires again a little bit and drove through it, but Gilbertson got me be a couple lengths.

Now it's off to Milan, Michigan for the re-scheduled Motor City Nationals. We leave Thursday night as soon as all my crewmembers get off work and get over to our shop. We'll pack up the RV and leave around 7PM, drive all night, and get to Milan first thing in the morning. Butch will have already arrived with the rig (and hopefully have the awning set up!). We'll get set up, service the car, and get ready for our qualifying run that evening.
