The hood hasn't been off of the car since last year. But as usual, it ran like a monster.
We were #2 in qualifying, and the only non-mustang in the top six low qualifiers.
On Saturday, we won our first round of eliminations. And on Sunday, we lost our race in round two of eliminations when the car ran faster than we thought it would run, again.
And that was that. The race in Norwalk was over. It was great to see Mike Psutelny, Dennis Breeden, the Downings, and Paul Dilcher again.
But as Norwalk ended, so did the racing for the Mega Maniac. At least it is done for the short term.
The Mega Maniac is temporarily retiring, until the car has a new owner.
That is right! The car has accomplished everything that Chris and I had schemed and dreamed that it would. And running it without Chris, which was OK while we were chasing his and my mutual goals, now just doesn't seem right any more. And it doesn't help that NHRA has such a problem being fair.
So I am now offering the car for sale.
The car's success could never have been accomplished without the help, knowledge, and talent of racer, engine master builder, and and all around NHRA racing guru, Keith Lynch.
And I wish both him, and his lovely wife Tonya, all of the best in the future. They have been good friends, and we all made a good team together. We will always be friends.
To all of my racing friends and New Hemi Racing Blog fans, I say, thanks for your support, friendship and encouragement.
God Bless, and Race Safely!
David
