So my brother, father and I went to NED for their Tasca Shootout. We all towed up and thought if any day to get new bests, this was it. Mid 30s when we arrived, but the sun was out in full force.
First pass for my brother and I were exciting. Burnout, stage, rev limiter and the car didnt move. Hit 2nd, car started creeping, rolled out, tagged 3rd and it skated all over the track. Got it hooked, spun into 4th and went 3.08 60', to a 15.2 @ 106 mph. HAHA! Brother did similar with a terrible 60' spinning and sliding all down track to a 16.xx after putting it in 5th and coasting out.
The track got better and I hit a string of 12.6s with mid 1.7 60's. No new best, but at least the track was sticking.
Brother went a slew of 12.0 @ 112-113 mph runs. Came into the semis against an 11.4 car and knew he had to let it rip. Snagged a 1.58 60' and tried to break the T5. He absolutely murdered the gears with nothing but a loud backfire on each shift. Actually impressed me because he has been working on powershifting and I think after that pass he had it down. Time hit on the boards...
11.89 @ 113.4
The other car broke and he got into the finals.
In the finals he was running a 12.0 - 12.1 car, but the other driver is a ringer, he knows how to cut a light and will get the car down the track. The other driver went red but my brother still gave it hell. Once again destroying the gears and the boards lit...
11.86 @ 113.3 with a get this... 1.55 60'.
So we were pretty satisfied there. He got the win in the Stock class and skipped the 11.9s and went two 11.8s.
Next up was my father. He had been a couple 9.9xs, but wanted an .80. A few low 10s spinning and he adjusted a few things. Went out and gave it hell and the boards lit...
9.90 @ 135.9
He was happy yet pissed. So the last run against a mid to lower 9s nitroused car, he got it where it needed to be. Lost to the guy running a 9.3 spinning hard, but did go...
9.88 @ 136.4.
All in all both brother and father hit new bests, and placed in 1st or 2nd. My junk went slow, but it was a good day.
