Hi Race Fans!
It was a hot day at the track here at Pacific Raceways as it got to 87 and track temp was over 130+ but it was another successful day for myself & the Muskrat. I made it to to finals for the 2nd race in a row until I was beaten by Shaun Lyons in his Malibu as he did a great job all day and especially against me.
1st rd: Opponent went red, I had a .051 rt and ran 12.073 on 12.02
2nd rd: Opponent broke out while I had a .017 rt and ran 12.128 on 12.04 as I lost .030-seconds in 60-feet.
3rd rd: I raced my good buddy Gordon Rust for the 2nd weekend in a row and he went red by .006 while I had a .046 rt and ran 12.123 on 12.09
4th rd: I raced another buddy Craig Smith whom had a .032 advantage on the tree but broke out by more than myself as I went 12.054 on 12.09
Final rd: I raced Shaun Lyons whom got a big advantage on the tree and he was able to peddle it at the stripe for the win. I ran 12.114 on 12.04 as spun a bit at the initial hit and then spun going into 2nd.

It was a fast paced day as we had short cool down times, I made 3 passes in 57 min going into final round. The PR crew did another OUTSTANDING job as always, much appreciated to you all!
Looking forward to spending time with the family at the track this coming double header weekend as Dad will be running the 57 in the BC Super Shifter class and I will be back at it going for 1st place in Sportsman, currently in 3rd at this time. [Pacific Raceways Sportsman points]
Have a great weekend everyone!
