any racing results???
Just got out of bed - didn't get home till 1 AM last night.
Big thanks to everyone at the NHRDA and at Speedworld - great event, great track. The weather was as good as we could ask for - just a little spot of rain, but overcast and cool (for Arizona - air temps in the high 80's, track in the low 90's). Good spectator turnout - seemed like everyone there drove in with a diesel pickup too.
We ran a new best in competition - 7.87 at 175, backed it with a 7.90 at 174 that we had to thrash for - turned the truck around in 27 minutes on the last run.
Real proud of everyone on the crew - good work, guys!!!
great job guys congratulations.
Cool, nice job Banks team:rockwoot::clap:
Thanks dude. It's been real great to have the support of guys like you and fellow racers that give us props when we've done good.
Thanks again everyone, sorry if I sound like a Hallmark card.
Later
Chris
I've got all our slips here from Friday and Saturday - will get them scanned and up tomorrow, so Greg can try to pick them apart
The dragster won't be at any diesel races this year - the season's over in about another week or two.
The little truck is really behaving well - got the 60's back down where we want them, 1.16's and 1.17's when the track was OK, and got the nasty tire shake out of it.
It's also not chewing itself up anymore, either - the changes we made from the last setup have proved out well so far. There's more in it, too - just more refinement to do.
Like Chris said - the truck wouldn't be where it is now without a lot of guy's hard work (and Gale pushing us to make it faster ) - missed having them with us at the track, and having the rest of you guys there to talk with and run against - can't wait till next season!
How did you fix the tire shake? Was it a compression issue or a rebound issue?
And Greg - I didn't mean to instigate anything with my quip earlier, but if you can't keep the PM's and voicemails to a simple 'Congrats' and not get wound up about other things, please, don't bother.
Congrats guys!!!:woohoo:
:doh:

Dammit Greg! I should've known not to read a Dockboy post while eating. Who's gonna help me clean my computer screen?
