Well today we had bright sun shine, good freindsand a sticky track. We gotto Atlanta Dragway about 9:30 this morning. We got or pit area set up and the car ready to race, When they made the call for us to line up and our pratice time runs in we went down and got in the staging lanes as quick as we could. I got to make about 3 practice run's, the car hooked up great and dad almost lost his shoes on the track (sticky, sticky). The car ran good but kept picking so we added 21 lbs to help slow it down. We did get it to slow down to an 8.94. Then the call for the qualifying run came in and I cut a 0.018 reaction time and was the 2nd qualifier out of 20 racers. In each one of my races I had to sit and wait because I was the faster car. I made it to the quater finails and then I broke out ending my day. All in all we had a great day racing and hanging out with family and friends. We will be doing it aging next weekend so if you can come out come on, Lets have some fun
