First trophy-EVER....

[misnblu]

Hey all, I finally got my first trophy in all my life. ;D
It was for second place in bracket racing but its still a trophy and 15 dollars money.
I was running the 1/8 mile and had consistent 9.3's with .6 r/t. Ive been practicing for a few weeks and the payday finally happened. ;D
The first two rounds I had to let off of the gas before I broke out and run 9.45's on both runs, for the win.
On the last run for the finals, everything looked good for the win, with one exception. Me.
With a r/t of .420, I red lighted and still run a 9.39 with a 9.35 dial in for the night. Talk about close. If I would have got my r/t right, I would have won the whole thing. Oh well, nerves of steel, I aint. lol
The car was prepped big time for racing and was running very well. Matter of fact, my first run down the strip was a 9.37 and surprised the heck out of me in doing that.
Two weeks ago, I ran the same track with the car in street trim (full weight, stereo, 16's all the way around etc) and was running consistent 9.7's that night.
Lastly, my car club place 1st and 2nd in a car show held at Gulfport Dragway in the StreetWars racing held last week. It was a good showing for the MSCA and the name is getting out.
Thought I'd share the joy.

Thanks Dj.
Maybe now I can be more consistent and begin getting some trophies for a change. hehe Wishful thinking.
Its all good though as Im having the time of my life.
Im finally getting some mods again and happy for that.
Its been due for some time.
Gold line springs are on the way and if I can afford it, some KYB struts to dampen the new springs.
Just installed a dual gauge pod with a digital volt meter and a/f ratio (also digi) to boot. All I have to do now is hook it up to the O2 sensor and Im done with it. Btw, this may be for the future nitrous setup. ;D
Anyway things have been good for me and hope things keep up.
Maybe by the end of Summer, Ill be in the 14's in the 1/4 and high 8's in the 1/8, all motor of course.

those are good rt's. Your car does an 1/8 in the same time that mine gets to 60mph
