Norwalk, and it it is raining, so what is new with that?

Not a thing... We have been to more races that had rain, than seems to be fair... But such is life. Hardly ever fair...

Last night after we got teched in, it rained.  But we were back in our rooms, so that wasn't too bad.

Today, we made a couple of qualifying runs, and we in third place. The car just is not running like it has been running, but everyone is complaining about the "air", meaning the humidity, temperatures, density  altitude, wind, etc, etc...

 But we all run the same air, but the Mega Maniac was running exceptionally poorly. The fuel ratio was a bit rich, so we leaned it out some. Then we ran our last run, which was held in the evening in front of the crowd. It is unusual that Stock classification cars get to actually run in front of any fans. So this was cool.

We decided that since there were four Challenger Drag Paks here, that it would be a good show to have two pairs of Challengers race against each other. Mike Pustelney was there with his 392 Cubic Inch  (6.4) 2010 Challenger, John McCloud had his 370 Cubic Inch (6.1) 2009 Challenger, and Larry Smith was there with his 370 Cubic Inch (6.1) 2009 Challenger, and obviously we were there with our tiny little 345 Cubic Inch (5.7) Challenger.

It was fun to see the four Challengers run out that way. And it worked out pretty good for us too.

When the qualifying run was over, we were back in a familiar place, Number One Stock Qualifier...

Not sure that we can hold out through the next (.. and last)  qualifying run tomorrow, as there one car, the one who won the Top Stock Qualifier in Indy, and he is driving a ...... m u s t a n g ...... and I have a feeling he can go a bit faster if he really wants to do that.

But we have another little trick or two, we might pull out of our bag of tricks.. Did I mention that I am a professional Magician? Seriously I am, and Sunday evening is our Annual Magic Club Banquet... So when I say we have a trick or two up our sleeves, don't think I am totally kidding... Tricks are a lot easier with a deck of cards... but some magic is beyond the medium, so, tomorrow, we shall see.

Until Next Time... Race Safely, and God Bless!
