Will be a FFW I will not forget!

1. Showed up Late, my falt!
2. Couldn't run True Street, didn't have enough $$
3. Didn't want to spend $50 for Street Ford, but wanted to race!
4. Shouln't have raced, motor locked up after my first TT :??:

But the rest of the day ok, rode in the True Street cruise with Bobby in the X-tra Cab Lightning, hung out with some old freinds, made some new freinds and witnessed the rebuild of a C-4 automatic on a car trailor.

All in all an ok day, car should be up and runnin' soon, hopefully :shrug: !

I was really sorry to hear about your car. My weekend was not too bad. The highlights:

That was me in 1st round true street bracket race. I dialed in a 12.05 and the Orange Cobra dialed in a 12.08. I won with an 11.96(brakes) to his 11.98. We both broke out, but he broke out more. That put me into 2nd round and we never raced again.:mad: They gave some bs about more rain coming.....that never materialized but at least they split the pot and I got $86.

On Saturday I finished 3rd in the 12sec braket with a 12.11 average. First pass was a 12.08, second pass a 12.20(waited at the tree for about 1 minute while they waived off the car I was supposed to run), then third pass was a 12.06. So look for the name in MM&FF for HRP and NPR as they list the top 25 cars.
