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.

Many thanks to everyone who was there for all of the encouragement and support; we felt truly loved.

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.

July 3, 2010 - Windy Hollow Dragway

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!

We lost first round of the Quick 8, then bought back. We also lost second round, and bought back again, then we got down to 12 cars. Congratulations to Phillip Oakley & Bobby Shrewsberry for running the final of the Quick 8 in Fred's honor.
