Runner Up @ Big Dog! Sort Of !!!

What's Up!

Our last blog was from the rain out at Mooresville. Since then we had an off weekend and prepared the car for the Big Dog at Piedmont Dragway. It is usually held on the first Thursday of every month, but it was postponed a week due to rain.

How about that runner up? Well, it was sort of in the consolation race. We ran a 4.35 on the shake down run. Then came back and ran a 4.35 on the first qualifying run. Going into the second and last qualifying run, the bump was a 4.31. Sandy tuned it up a little and it went straight down the groove with a 4.33. Unfortunately that did not get us in and the bump ended up being a 4.30.

In the consolation race Sandy out ran Jack Gaddy and Jason Harris with two more 4.35's. In the finals against Robbie Kiziah, Sandy ran his best number of the day. A 4.32 against Kiziah's 4.34. Hole shot loss. That will hurt your heart.

Well, that is sort of how we got runner up. We can say we made it to the finals of a race. Of course the pay wasn't as good and we didn't get any press on Piedmont Dragway's web sight. You still need to go to their sight and check out all the hot photos Van Abernathy took of Sandy's car.

That's it folks. Rockingham is this coming weekend. Hope to see you there!
