Didn't have very much sucess this weekend in Rounds 3 and 4.

Pulled an all nighter on Friday night getting my buddies 442 ready for its mayden voyage. His TC was locking in reverse and stalling the car. Swapped to a junk backup tranny and got everything else ready to go. Took it for a test drive at 8am and then headed for the track to see what his fresh 425 BBO would do without the Kooks headers that haven't shipped yet, a stock converter/big cam, and street tires (ran out of time to mount the slicks. He ended up pulling 14.0s @ 102 after we borrowed a 35 squirter (his Pro Systems carb was 40/40) and it sort of moved off the line.

Anyways, I was actually doing alright in qualifying runs in the morning. I was paired up with a friend (points leader) in the first round and got by him. Got a season vetran in the second round and treed him (.041 to .062) but gave it back with a .006 break out and my day was over.

On Sunday I was driving for a friend. The car went a best-ever pass first thing in the morning but later had major engine trouble on the 3rd hit . My girlfriend was racing the GTA I drove on Saturday so I threw my number on our 92 Acclaim for the 4th run and eliminations. I tried to deep stage on the practise run but drew a red light so I didn't do that in the eliminations. Got paired with another vetran and ran the dial in with a 2(on the brakes) but I was several car lengths behind as the car took almost .400 to come off the light. :z I'd like to think it was more the car than the driver. Somehow the little 3.0 picked up on the second run from a 2.71 60' to a 2.54'. Not sure what happened as I am sure it didn't spin on run 1.

Long story short, I only managed to win 1 round all weekend and have my work cut out for me on the last half of the season if I want to be at the top of the standings.
