Don't feel bad, my best buddy's A/Fuel Dragster ran in the 14 second bracket last time out and he's been doing the class since '91 or so. He drove the "Run of the Year " car in '92.

Would that by chance be Junkyard Ed Vickroy? I know he drove an A/Fuel car Gene Adams tuned to 253 when the record was 235. NHRA retired the record at the end of the year and changed the class combo.

We had some minor problems on sat.  We had to fix a fuel leak on a weld on the driver side fuel rail.  Then after that our clutch lever was galled up just like our steering was at bville.  So we took the levers apart and cleaned them all up, and by that time the wind was blowing good.  Sunday we got an early run in at around 9, short shifted in 3rd and 4th and still couldn't keep it straight.  Also the engine was on the rich side.  Our next run was around noon and the took off good through 2nd and while in 3rd I was doing the throttle steering wheel boogie.  First run 180, 2nd run 150.  I will post a couple videos tomorrow.  Still have a 5 hour drive to go.

At least, those runs validated all the time spent over the winter. It's like jumping into the pool the first day at the vacation motel.

Good job. Now you can work for improvement the rest of the year. Just remember, this year you were ready for the years first meet.

Much better to br rich and run slow than to be too lean and run slower onto the trailer. You guys are an inspiration Troy. Good job...

[Dynoroom]

Good to meet you and your dad Troy. Sorry we couldn't spend more time with you.

I was headed for the exit at around noon when I heard over the radio that you were on course, so I stopped to watch from the shut down area. Man that sucker sounds awesome, even with the pedaling you were doing just to get that beast down to the finish. I have to say, you didn't look to pumped when you got out of the car though. It's a real bummer that the lake is in such crappy shape this year. It's going to be real tuff for the big HP guys like yourself to get hooked up all year it would seem. Goog luck the rest of the season and I dig following your guys progress as well!

Troy and John,
Great to meet you guys and put faces with names. Thanks for the great hospitality and major bull session on Friday night. I had to leave Saturday so stayed around until the wind came so missed your Sunday pass, really sounds like you over powered the course. Ever thought of going with the large dia, threaded Dunlops like the BMR roadster runs on the lake for a little more traction? Just a thought. The young "bit head" guys that do your computer/injection work are very sharp and very interesting to talk with I would love to see their chassis dyno.

Thanks again and will probably see you in June.
