Finally got out this season due to a number of unforseen issues. None car related.
Went 020 red in first round. Ouch
Bought back in.
Was 018 to his 057 and totally, dumbly hogged the stripe, broke out. Stupid, stupid.
So much for my first outing. 0 for 2 outings suck badly.
Nothing broke, had fun, so i guess it could be worse. Just great to get back in the car, season ended earlier last year because of hip surgery, so it had been a while.
Was 034 and trip zip in my two time trials, so i was overall pretty happy with the tree, just need to wake up at the finish line and pay attention. Foot braking.

note to guys just starting out racing. Never, ever trust the car to run the number and not lift when you have room at the stripe. Always tighten it up to your level of confidence.Always.
 
Sounds to me it's nothing more than surface rust which I think you just knocked it off good luck with racing this year
 
As the say, "Some days chicken, some days feathers". My former partner & I could have written the book "1001 ways to lose a drag race" & probably added a few to that number also.
 
Glad you got the car out and had fun Don. You've been out of the saddle a bit, it'll come back. I'll embarrass myself when I go back. :lol:
