This was my first time out in 2 years and had a great time driving our ’57 in Pro bracket. The weather was hot and muggy which makes traction a challenge, but we got by Jeff Denton’s ’55 in the 1st round with a .016 light running a 10.909 on a 10.88. In the 2nd round I cut a solid .035 but the car slowed to a 10.939 on a 10.89 as the humidity climbed to 71% and the car hooked better in this round pulling the small motor down with our reduced launch RPM. Congratulations to\u00a0Makayla Quam who put me on the trailer with her Valiant, she drove well<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But I had a great time and my thanks to Pam, my very able crew chief Chris & Paul for all their help & support<\/span>! The car with the retarded cam timing is running strong in high gear but we’re giving up 2 mph to the 1\/8th. We’ll loosen the front shocks and\u00a0advance the cam before the ’57 sees the track again!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul won his 1st round in Sportsman also and we were off to a good start. Unfortunately Paul left just a tad early in the 2nd round and our night was finished.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I also want to thank the crew at Pacific Raceways <\/em>for all their hard work in the heat and humidity. Good job ladies & gents!<\/strong><\/p>\n
