2010 High Altitude Bracket Nationals

It's been a long time coming but I was finally able to race the car with the new 347 and not have it leaking all over the track.

I made 3 runs Friday all in the 11.7 range at 117 mph, the only problem I had was the car bogged real bad on the launch. I thought about the problem and Saturday made an adjustment to the fuel level in the secondary float and it really helped. I made 2 time runs Saturday and the first was a 11.59, the second an 11.65 so the car was running better in the heat we had.

For the first round I had the bad luck of having to race my Phast Phat Racing team member Steve and got lucky and won because he red lit. He had a great day too though, he was picked to run a special money race and won his first round but lost his second when he went to quick.

So on to the second round I go and won that one when my opponent went too quick and I ran closer to my dial, 11.63 on a 11.64 dial in. Now I'm on to the 3rd round and get a car that's a lot quicker than mine so I leave first. I knew when let go of the trans brake button I was late on the light, and sure enough the other guy caught me by about 1000' and won rather easily.

No complaints from me though, all the nights under the car, swearing at it and being frustrated paid off, the car ran great all weekend with no problems.

We have another race next Sunday where I'll be putting some runs on the set up to try and get it a little quicker.
