Saturday April 24th was qualifying day for the big opening of the 2021 ANRA season. The driver (that's me) was a little rusty on Friday during the completion of the 2020 season...so we went into qualifying to try to lay down a pair of consistent passes.
On time run number one I cut an .015 light and ran a respectable 10.470 so that was good.
On run number two I cut an .023 light and then fell back into my bad ways and was terribly late on the 2-3 shift. It ran a 10.542.
That didn't give me a whole lot of confidence, so when Eliminations Round 1 came up we dialed a 10.48 and went for it. I cut an .033 light and ran 10.501 to take the win. Not bad!
Then when round 2 came up we left the dial at 10.48. I cut another .033 light but this time I fell asleep on the 2-3 shift again....and ran a losing 10.570!
Needless to say, the driver has some work to do before we head out to the 2021 Spring Nationals on June 11-13!!
On a bright note Zack, the cat in the bitchin' topolino, showed up and presented me with this rendering of the hot rod. 👆 He used a pic which I had purchased from Leo "one pic at a time" Lopez and then zapped it with an app to make this cool effect.
On Monday after the toys were put away, Kenny the nuke, Wingman and I dropped into Beerwood Tavern for a couple brewskies and a bite to eat.
We're now getting ready for ANRA number 2. Time to do some damage!
SLORacer. Out.
