Seoptember 12, 2007

Tonight is a test and tune night at Sunshine and they run the Top Dog program. The evening started out well and I got one time run. Taking the advice of Hugh Scott, I upped my tire pressure to 6-1/2 lbs. The results were interesting. It didn't effect either my 60 foot time or ET but it did do two very distinct things. It increased my mile per hour between 2-3 and the launch didn't feel like a washboard. The advice in my opinion was very good.

About 8:00pm we were in staging for our first Top Dog qualifying run. I was keeping my eye on the clouds as the eastern sky was developing huge black ominous looking clouds that were rapidly moving right towards us. I had been in staging to long and things weren't moving so I decided to break ranks and head to the trailer. That was the smartest thing I've done this week. No sooner had I finished loading the car and hooking up the trailer than the sky let loose to a tremendous downpour. I made it just in time.

So...I guess we just wait for Friday night and go racing.
