Just a quick update and we’ll have many more details early next week. Paul won the 1st Swift Tools E.T. Races<\/em> in Sportsman of 2016 at Pacific Raceways,<\/em> running a 12.01 in the final with a .004 reaction time! Congratulations to Paul and the entire Edwards & Young Racing<\/em> team, we’re off to a great start!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris went out in the 2nd round of Pro Bracket breaking out by .001-seconds in a very close race! We’re pleased, the Chevelle is running very consistent this year!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Break-out<\/a>

Break-out loss to Rob Lindley. Rob ran a 9.082 on a 9.08, Chris ran a 10.559 on a 10.56 Tight racing at the stripe!<\/strong>

Prior to his first hit this morning, Chris tightened the extension on his front Strange<\/em>\u00a0double-adjustable shocks to slow the pitch rate of the car. The car responded with a\u00a010.52 @ 125.7 MPH, the quickest run this year for the Chevelle. We’re sneaking up on the proper chassis adjustment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And Paul ran a excellent 12.02 @ 112 MPH on his first hit this morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2:05 PM<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both Chris and Paul won their 2nd rounds. The atmospherics are deteriorating rapidly and they are dealing with headwinds making it challenging for\u00a0dial-ins. Seems ever year the air density gets worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good job guys, keep it going!<\/strong><\/p>\n

2:55 PM<\/strong><\/span>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just got an update from Chris, Paul lost in the 3rd round in Sportsman, and Chris lost in the 4th round to Dustin Ward in Pro Bracket. After this weekend Paul was in a solid 2nd in the Sportsman points chase!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall a very good showing for Edwards & Young Racing <\/em>early in the 2016 season! – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After-action report<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

April 19, 2016: Today Chris and I installed wheelie bar springs with a higher spring rate hoping to control the height on his launch better. With the softer springs the bars are topping out and pushing the nose down too hard. – Roger<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
