Ahh...what could have been!!
We made the finals against defending champ Frank Manzo, but a $2 part on the throttle linkage on Permatex/Wynn's/Texas Roadhouse 2008 Chevrolet Impala SS Top Alcohol Funny Car broke in the finals... causing the throttle linkage not to work and the car shut-off about 150 feet down the track. That aside, we're very happy with the second place finish. It's just a little disappointing because Frank's car also broke on the run...but hey, that's racing!
Overall, great weekend for the team!!
We had an awesome run (5.662/254.62) in the semis. This car is still new...five passes this week, and four last week in Atlanta. Now we've got a couple of weeks to prepare for the race in Reading, which I know is going to be a great weekend, because that's Marty's home track and the one that holds special meaning to me, because it's really where I decided to start following my dream of owning a drag race team.
Gonna work on the car now and I'll talk to everyone tomorrow.
