So proud of this car, driver not so much

Good job John! It was Africa hot at New England Dragway this past weekend. Saturday racing was cancelled as it was rainy in the morning but by 11:00am the skies started clearing and it got hot and humid. Sunday was the same and the Arrow was about a tenth off in the heat and humidity. Ran a 9.26 @ 146 and a pair of 9.24s after I made a jet change to the carb. It was miserable being strapped in the car in staging with 3 layer jacket and pants plus the helmet. By the time I staged up for first round of eliminations I was so uncomfortable I couldn't concentrate on the tree and had a horrible light. Race over! Got me seriously considering investing in some sort of cool shirt set up.


Our weatherman lied to us and missed it badly this past weekend. Humidity was supposed to kick back some starting Saturday morning but it didn’t happen. Sunday was a tic better but not by much. We lost a lot of racers for Sunday program that said they had enough and it was the third of 3 points days. Honestly if I hadn’t paid for the weekend on Friday I would have left. We have a nice funny car show and fireworks on Saturday and they are predicting 87 degrees. I’ll probably sit it out and get ready to leave Thursday for the Ace Race.
