Hello everyone, and thanks for watching!

“Clash on the Caprock”
Leading up to this day, my car had just not been running right. It had been breaking up under heavy load & flashing a CEL at me. I tried everything I knew to try & fix it, but on the way to the track I made a test hit & it did it again!
Once we were at the track I took Monty for a couple rips while he was watching live data on the scan tool. There were two instances where it recorded a misfire but no indication of what caused it. On our way back Monty wanted to stop & talk to someone about it. We asked Mark Pena what he thought & without hesitation he said plug wires. Luckily I brought a set, so I slapped them right in! I went up to make a test pass & the car ran better than it had all week & I was thrilled to have it back to 100%. Huge thanks to Mark Pena!!!
For my test pass, I was a little easy on the launch, but still managed my new best 60’ in the car. It ran great out back leading to a new PB of 7.72 @ 96 mph with a 1.90 60 ft.
Time to go racing! I was signed up for the Modern N/A class.
First round I drew Dylan in his 6th Gen Camaro SS. I had just a decent reaction time but the rest of the pass was my best ever. Best 60’ best 330’ best 1/8 mile ET and best MPH. The car ran a 7.54 @ 100 mph with a 1.86 60 ft. Even considering this, Dylan blew my doors off with a 7.15 & 98mph and cutting a 1.63 60ft. There’s my first loss, luckily due to the low car count, we decided to make the class double elimination.
Second round I drew an S650 Mustang that seemed pretty stock. My launch was okay here, but the car did bog a little. I managed a 1.96 60 ft backing it up with a 7.73 @ 99 mph and turning on the win light.
For the third round I drew Dylan again. I tried to negotiate a car length head start or at least getting the hit, but he was not willing. I knew I had to cut a great light & run a perfect pass to stay in front of him. I got too caught up in reaction time & totally botched my launch. I had my worst 60 ft of the night & Dylan ran a great pass, handing me a healthy gap. The car ran a 7.76 @ 99mph with a 1.98 60ft. Congrats to him moving on, my night was now over.
Dylan would meet Steven in the finals, and take home the win. Congrats to Dylan for winning Modern N/A!
It’s never fun losing but I couldn’t be happier with how my car performed, now it’s just up to me to get better at driving it.
I included all the extra vids I took of other races. I need to do better at recording others to provide more content for your entertainment!
