Hello Race Fans!
We enjoyed beautiful weather this past Saturday for our A Street Automotive sponsored bracket race at “The Place to Race” Pacific Raceways. We took Paul’s Handan Trailer Repairs sponsored ’85 Ford Mustang out to run in Pro and all went really well once again.
We got 2 time runs and the car went 11.77 and 11.75 respectively which was what we were expecting for the cooler weather conditions.
1st rd: We dialed 11.76 and ran 11.819 on the brakes taking the win thanks to having an advantage on the tree with a .007 light.
2nd rd: We got pulled for a bye run this round and ran 11.801 on the 11.77 dial to go along with a solid light.
3rd rd: We dialed 11.77 and ran 11.781 taking a close win against always tough Martin Condon.
4th rd: We dialed 11.76 and ran 11.719 trying to run down Ken O’Keefe in a double breakout race. Ken unfortunately got a good size advantage on the tree and I just couldn’t recover to get the W. This one was a little surprising to us in how much the car picked up from the prior run as the air density only dropped about 150 ft.
Big thanks to my bro this weekend in helping keep the car cool in between rounds and ensuring the car keeps running flawlessly. As I always say Dad & Bro are the ones that do all of the hard work on the car as I pretty much just hop in it and drive. Thank you also to family & friends that come out to cheer me on as it is always much appreciated.
Hope to see you all again soon at a track near you!
We’ve been attempting to get the ’57 Chev with Chris behind the wheel at a TNT, but the weather hasn’t been cooperating! We hope to have it out for testing in June! – Paul Young
Another excellent outing guys, well done!!
We hope to have the ’57 out June 2nd for testing and giving Chris more seat time in the car.
