I'm sure some of you've seen this on my or John's FB, but since he never post here any more and some of you are not on FB I figured I'd post it here as well.
John, Jason, and I were all competing in the street race power adder class. I was put into big block because I'm barely over the ci limit, and John and Jason were in the small block class. The class does not allow a 25.5 or greater roll cage so 8.5 is the cap. There are a bunch of other rules trying to keep "race cars" out of the class but I won't bore you with them.
John and I easily had 8.5 covered so it ended up being who could aim at 8.5 more accurately. John took the more sophisticated approach of slowing the car down to run an 8.5, I didn't like that idea so I just figured out how to coast through to a 8.5. In the end the big block class was slightly less competitive and I won the class with an 8.56 average and John got 2nd in the small block class with an 8.54. Jason is on a stock 5.3 in a heavy wagon and ran all of his passes between 8.63 and 8.67 which got him a top 5 finish.
It was an awesome week, very tiring, we got very lucky in terms of failures with the only real failure being John lost a set of injectors. We got on the road late most days chasing after low 8.5x's, between John and I we had over 35 1/4 mile passes throughout the event.
Still hands down the best drag racing event on the planet. I'll update this when I get my bad ass drag week jacket
Here are the highlights from John Jason and I
