The Flying Pig Racing crew had a fantastic weekend at the
ANRA Summer Nationals!! I mean, it should (almost) be illegal to have this much fun. The temps at
Famoso Raceway stayed below the century mark and that makes everyone a lot happier. The food was great, the comradery was priceless, and the racing was competitive.
Here's a major highlight: Wayne -the legend- Rich popped some new heads on the Vega, and came out strong with a string of 10.04s and a best of 10.005! That from a hot rod that was in the 10.50s last race. Nice work Wayno! It looked like this-
Wayne and I were both first round winners (second round losers) in D Gas, BUT we both did well in Hot Rod. Wayne went to the semi's while I went out in the 3rd round. Good news is I took out the points leader in round 2! I came into this race trailing 1st place by 2 rounds, and when the dust settles and the points are counted, I think I end up just 1 round behind the leader(s). Wayne jumps up into the top 10 as well. So it looks like FPR will have two cars in contention going into the final 2 races of the season. Can't ask for more than that.
Here's one of my time runs -
Round 1 win-
2nd round win vs. Dan Rowly
I was sporting my brand new ROGUE wheelchair thanks to
Ki Mobility! They stepped up and gave me the wheels to get around on and off the track with the ultimate in performance! Can't thank them enough. Rene Szalay and Murray Slagerman- thanks for being the guys to make it happen!
And then there is THIS! So Dave the wrench, pulls me over to his trailer and says "hold on- I have something for you", and out comes WHAAAAAT?! A bottle of Whistle Pig "The Boss Hog" complete with a bitchin' cast flying pig stopper! This stuff is dear, and the flying pig topper is RARE- only used in one vintage! I guess he searched far and wide to come up with that one!
