Default Had a really bad day yesterday.

Got all ready to go to the track yesterday. got my bottle filled, tires changed and was ready to go...all except my blow down tube. So i go to install it. Drilled the hole...right through my gas tank. ****!!!!! We went ahead and loaded it on the trailer and stopped at napa on the way and got a make-shift plug. Ok so we're on our way.

We left the house at 4 o'clock...The track is an hour and a half away. We got 30 minutes from home(el reno) and a tire blew out on the trailer. Luckily I have friends everywhere and we were back on the road in about 45min. Got on I-40 and that went just fine. Then we went to get on I-35 and there was a big wreck and didn't hardly move for what seemed like 30min+. Finally got goin again and get almost to the track my buddy misses the turn. Well i have navigation so we used to find a back way in to the track. So we take this "alternate route" and get to where we can see the drive in to the track and there is a ****** 6foot berm between us and it. So then we had to back this big *** trailer like 1/4mile before we find somewhere to turn around. We finally got my truck unloaded and I teched in at 8p.m. I turned by bottle heater on and went and say in line. I made my first run n/a and ran my best time to date 14.40 at 95.82 with a 2.2 60'. I was happy. So i went to the pits to pull some timing when all of the sudden BOOM!!!. My automatic heater didn't work and it blew off...10lbs of nitrous down the drane. At that time i figured i better stop before something major happened.




Finally made it

Sometimes its better to cut your losses. When your hell bent on making something happen and ignore all the signs, **** happens! I've had a few of those days. Congrats on the n/a run tho...
