And thanks to Linda again, she helped at the timeslips/elimination

Novarat is racing the SuperGas Nova at Drachten next weekend,

Too late for this time, but come up anytime - don't need to be there Friday night, or Saturday early, just come by - we take regular registrations all the way through Sunday around noon or so ...
Check here late for some report

Where were all the FBE folks? I know Bruce couldn't come, Jack's still down(?), but where's all the rest ... lot's of Rice to burn up down there (some a bit tougher than other). Overall average ET was in the high 15's ... will be posting some stats later ... pictures coming up, also ...

I don't know why I was running so slow. I know that I couldn't hook up with the cheap Kumho tires.  My reaction times were averaging .630 with a couple of .54x.  60 foot times were 2.19-2.21. 1/8 was 9.1 - 9.2. Car used to run a 9.0x at 80 mph. 1/4 was very consistant though. Always ran a 14.2x at 95.7 - 97.2. Don't know why the mph varied more than the time??? With those consistant times, I would be winning bracket races again. I just can't understand why it's slower than when I used to drag at Pirmasens. I added rear lower control arms and the 3.23s have been replaced with 3.42s. I know I can run quicker with slicks, but why the slow speeds? I even removed my floor mats to ensure that it wouldn't prevent the pedal from going all of the way down. (Don't laugh. I ran a couple of slow times at Pirm. before I realized that the mat was bunched up under the pedal! )

I think my best time was a 14.0 (or 14.1?) but I also ran sometimes only 14.5 and I don't know why...?
There was a 1950+ pickup which ran 10.7 
SSZ28: The reason that you didn't run faster than some time ago in Pirmasens is probably that Bitburg is higher == slower times...?

Suppose that means I need to do more mods.
