Changes are coming

Lately I've been pretty fed up with the letter carriers and other clerks at the station so this last go around I put in 3 bids for a different job. I ended up getting one so starting Sunday my new days off are now Friday/Saturday (they were Friday/Sunday) but I go into work now at 6pm and I'll get off at 2:30am. I really hated to do it but I was getting pretty ticked off on a daily basis at how lazy and bitchy those carriers are there. At least now I won't have to worry about getting time off to race on Saturdays and because I start late I should be able to do most stuff on Sundays.

So your not going to Tweet?

I've been waiting to see you on Twitter and your not there yet, how come? It's easy to do and you can follow me more often than reading the blog.

Frustrating thy name is drag racing

It's been a frustrating last couple of races while the car's performance has been great the track's hasn't. The first time run will be great, lifting the front tires and running a pretty good time but every run after that it spins the tires. At the last race I even lowered the tire pressure 1/2 pound and yet it still spun in the first round and I lost.

Here's how it breaks down and you can tell it cost me the race. My car will normally cover 60 feet in 1.59 - 1.60 seconds but on the two first round losses they were 1.68 and 1.69 so you can see that I left .008 or .009 on the starting line and the car ran slower than my dial in as a result too.

Well I'll be back out there again this Saturday trying to put some wins together and get out of this first round losing slump. I just hope the track co-operates with me this time.
