This weekend was interesting to say the least. After discussing it with Mike Scott, we deciding not to race this weekend because of the horrible weather forecast. The prediction was for rain all weekend just like Wednesday and Thursday. As it turned out Friday was beautiful. About 11am I decided if this great weather keeps up I'm going racing. I worked straight through lunch so that I could bail out at 3:30pm and head home to load up. I made it back to Sunshine by 6:00pm just in time to miss the first time run. Long story short, I found most of the performance however, I lost in the second round. My competitor strapped a .006 light on me and I broke out by .001. But...that's drag racing. I ran a 5.679 with 2/3 throttle so I was pleased with the performance. Now I just had to get the full throttle thing worked out.Saturday I took care of some of the motorhome maintenance things then headed to Bradenton. I got to the track about noon and then proceeded to load and unload the car I think 4 times between spritzles. Dick Swenson and I were at the head of staging ready to race when it started sprinkling again and that was the one that polished off the event. After that one they couldn't get the track dry enough to race. We all got rain checks for October 20th. Other than getting to meet new people and bench racing the day was rather miserable because of the rain. Drier days are ahead.
