October 8-10 - O'Reilly Raceway Park

October 8-10 was the Jeg's Super Quick finale at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis, IN. The weekend consisted of test and tune on Friday, qualifying and the Shootout on Saturday, and eliminations on Sunday.

We made 5 test passes on Friday just to get some seat time.

The Jeg's Shootout is a special race for the top 8 finishers in qualifying points. At each Jeg's race the top qualifier gets 32 points, second qualifier gets 31 points, etc. All the points are totaled and the top eight run in the Shootout. We ran Ashley Bach in the first round of the Shootout.

First round of the actual Jeg's race was Sunday morning without any time trials. Going into the race we had to go one more round than James Monroe to pass him in points. It so happened that Monroe ran his first round opponent just two pair in front of us. This meant that I was looking down the track, waiting to run, when they ran. When Monroe's opponent's win light came on I saw the team celebrate on the starting line, and I knew that if we won this round we would take the points lead. Luckily, we did.

After losing second round (I was dead late on the tree and knew it, I guess my nerves got the better of me) we had to wait until the semi-finals to see how the points chase would end. We finished in 1st place, just 10 points ahead of James Monroe, 11 points ahead of Chris Sullivan, and 22 points ahead of Bobby Small. Read all about it here:

Just as we launched from the starting line first round it began to rain and the race was postponed until Sunday morning. We lost 3rd round on Sunday.

Ford friends Bobby Small and Scott Carman both had unfortunate weekends. Bobby noticed that his chassis was broken Saturday morning and therefore he could not compete. Scott broke a timing belt during qualifying and couldn't run in eliminations.

I lifted first round because I didn't notice that the other person had a red light. I used the nitrous override near the finish line third round, in the semis, and in the final.

Today was the Fred Wilkerson Memorial Race at Windy Hollow Dragway in Owensboro, KY.

We got 3 time trials. We put our old 8" converter in the car this week and it ran much better. We used the nitrous for one of our time trials so we'd have a baseline for the next Jeg's race, otherwise we didn't use the nitrous today. We qualified #2 for the Quick 8!

June 12th, 2010 - Chandler Motorsports Park

On June 12th we raced in Super Pro in the NHRA Division 3 State Championship race at Chandler Motorsports Park in Chandler, IN.

We got 2 time trials. For the first one we removed the air filter in the new scoop to see if it would make a difference in ET. We shook the tires at the gear change fairly hard on the first pass, so our ET was relatively slow. We put the air filter back in for the second time trial and the rest of the evening. We used 200hp worth of nitrous for 1.5 seconds all day so that we'd qualify for the Quick 16. We qualified #2!
