This was a double-header weekend featuring the 10.5 fast-ass cars, the B.C. Super Shifters<\/a><\/em>, and highly contested bracket racing at Pacific Raceways<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was competing with my fellow stick-shift racers down from Canada with some local entries like myself and had a great time and we had about 15 gear jamming hot rods that put on a good show! And they have some very fast door cars running well into the 9’s.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our ’57 qualified well on both Saturday and Sunday with a .035 reaction time on Saturday and a .030 reaction time on Sunday. The car was working well in the capable hands of my Crew Chief, Chris Young, and ran three runs over a 600-foot density altitude swing of 10.55, 10.56 and ran a 10.589 on a 10.58 dial in the first round on Saturday. Unfortunately I turned the tree red by -.007<\/span> seconds.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday on the second qualifying hit the car suddenly slowed to a 10.70 when we broke\u00a0an inner valve spring and we lacked the time to make the repairs for the first round. My weekend was done but I had fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul did well racking up points with his ’85 Mustang and he’ll have more to report on this segment in the near future. His\u00a0car set new personal records on Saturday running solid high 11’s during time runs. He’s currently in 3rd place in the points standings<\/a> and only 10-points out of 1st. Some very tight racing in Sportsman this season, and it promises to be a barn-burner to the end of the points races!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up is Paul in his Mustang and Chris in his wheel standing Chevelle on June 20th! The Chevelle is back together with the new Hughes Performance<\/em> TH-400!<\/strong><\/p>\n

================<\/p>\n

Hey Dad!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was sure an enjoyable weekend, glad everyone had fun as I know that I did! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sat: I set new personal records of 11.866 ET on my 2nd qual pass and 113.47 mph in the 2nd rd of eliminations which unfortunately came in a lost as the throttle stuck at the finish line. My opponent that I lost to in the 2nd rd went on to win the race so I didn’t feel too bad all in all. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sun: I had great lights all day and made it to the 3rd rd where I lost in a tight race against Nick Douglas as I had a .029 advantage on the tree but just couldn’t quite run my dial. Guess what, he went on to win the race too! It was a good weekend points wise as crept a little closer to 1st place, basically only a round behind. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been some really tight racing this year and I expect it to continue as the Sportsman class is getting tougher each & every year. This next race is one of the biggest of the year as it is for a Wally, here’s hoping that the lil man will make it into one of our hands for Edwards & Young Racing sponsored by Handan Trailer Repair & Sales. <\/strong><\/p>\n

See you at the track! – Paul Young, Edwards & Young\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
