This was a Saturday afternoon/night race at Pacific Raceways and both the Chevelle & Mustang were entered in Pro Bracket. Here’s Paul’s Report:
Hello Race Fans!
We took our 71 Chevelle Wagon & 85 Ford Mustang out to Pacific Raceways for the Sat night Bud Under The Lights race yesterday. The weather was pretty nice for racing albeit we had a ton of cottonwood flying in the air that made for an interesting view.
The Pacific Raceways crew had the track on-point like the always do and did a wonderful job in the lanes communicating the match-ups as things progressed into eliminations.
Both Chris & Paul made 1 qualifying pass, Chris ran 10.65 and Paul 11.91 so we were set for 1st round. We dialed Chris 10.63 since there was improvement with air density and he had a great reaction time but unfortunately lost due to barely breaking out by .008 running 10.622 against the car called “The Magician”. We feel real good about how Chris is driving and the car is running, it was a good race that you will win some and lose some throughout the season since a lot of tough competition.
We went with 11.87 dial for Paul 1st rd and he ran 11.83 still getting the win since his opponent went red. The 2nd rd we dialed 11.82 and he went 11.79 for the win since opponent went red once again.
The 3rd rd race was against the same guy Chris raced in 1st rd so we were looking for some redemption. We dialed down a bit more to 11.78 and went 11.776 on the dial with a .017 light so the win was there for the taking for Paul but he misjudged the finish line and hit the brakes too late.
It was a fun night of racing overall for the Handan Trailer Repair sponsored team and we got to cheer on our friends Jeff Warnke, Jerrod Warren and Adam Y whom all were going deep into eliminations.

I’m pleased how well both cars ran considering how low the baro was this day! Hard to make much horsepower at 29.20
On the plus side the water grains were low which helped!
