Disappointed you didn't win but runner up to a bunch of shop cars. Hope your trip home was smoother then last time

My dad said he heard them say they were going to prep the track before we ran but changed their mind. Was a long day of waiting. 1st pass was 4:58 then 7:04 and 8:36. The last 3 races here they had run all our passes together and we were done before what was our 1st pass this year.

It was free but just disappointed. Jon is in the quick 8 and if I would have hooked 1 run I would have been in. They were going by your fastest pass to get in this year instead of your average

And for some reason my lights were really bad, like lights I never have that makes me think something was not right with it. I had some .800 and even a .900. A bad light for me is a .400. Everyone I was racing had lights close to that. They did say there was something going on with the timing system and if it was adding .500 like I thought I heard that would make sense

 

[Hatermkr]

this was a bad day for someone. This is why I decided to let air bag light be on with no seat

 

[DavidKFla]

Is that a timing chain?

Overall it looks like everyone had a great time.

Feel bad for the airbag guy.

Morning after nmca. Before we left my VSS sensor took a crap so my cuz Steve told me to take his trans out of his car. So I did. Now time to give him it back lol

Dang so the trans going poof also set the airbags off? I'd not have expected that. Talk about insult to injury.

I raced in the NMCA Hemi Shootout a couple years back when it was at Beech Bend. It was pretty fun. I targeted the 11.00 class back then (car was stock) and nailed it with like an 11.03 average. The rules got a little weird as I thought I won the 11.00 class since that's what I signed up for, but they called someone else's name at awards. They called me as overall event runner up since the only car faster was a Demon. Wish I'd known I was in the running for over all quickest as I'd have loaded a tune and let it eat. They wouldn't let you win two classes but seems if you signed up for one they'd have made it known you had a choice.

They lady who got the 11.00 award was a real ass about it. I hope she enjoyed her consolation prize.

Still that was you don’t sign up for a class tho. No 8.5 winner because only two 8 second cars so they one fastest second and runner up. Anyone else in the 8s would have won 8.5. @vortecd spun his first pass so he decided might as well go for 10.0

You don't sign up for a class since I have been doing it. You make your 3 runs and fall where you fall. I have been beat by people not trying to run that number
