Combating adversyty.
Keith (Sy 1193) and my parents came to Wilmington this evening.
We went to Cecil County Dragway in MD and I raced nmy truck for the first time. It was actually the first time I ever raced and I had a great evening.
My first pass was my fastest at 13.77 but then I screwed up my Greddy and was running 14.10 on the second two. I sandbagged to get the boost up and only managed around 9 psi. The next two launches were worse at 6 psi but my reaction time was down to .503. Lots of learning/tuning to do!!
The lower IC isn't working so it got hot and I decided to rest and saw the PS pump was leaking and the fluid was smoking under the truck.
I nearly didn't get to run due to flip flops and shorts and an illegal racing helmet but we talked the tech guys round.
Keith gave me loads of advice and I managed to avoid a red start.
It was a very cool experience and I learned a lot. I was also very flattered - loads of people knew what I was driving and were commenting on the truck saying how great it looked and what a nice ride it is.
I have a lot of tuning to do but Keith is really keen and a great guy so I am confident I can get more out of this beast, starting with the Greddy. Looking forward to some faster times I hope!
