    well they say no news is good news. so i guess i do have some news. fought the tuning gremlins most of the week. ran a 13.21 and 13.13 on thursday. dialed a 13.11 later in the evening and dropped to a 13.32. went out the first round of the gambler race. oh well, guess that was a $50 time run. winner was pitted next to me. it paid $8,500 to win. had 339 cars in it. anyway, i bumped up the jetting. fridays t&t ran a 13.06 and 13.09. getting closer. saturday ran a 13.16. sunday moorning first round of eliminations was pretty windy. was going to dial a 13.19 but figured with my luck the wind would die down and i'd break out. so i put a 13.17 on and figured i knew what the left foot was for. my 60 foot times have always been slow. all week they were 1.83-1.84. well first round i red lit by .036 and my 60 ft. time was a 1.79. my last 2 lights before that were .018 and .032. that tracked just really hooked on me. also i ran the 13.19 i was going to put on. i was bummed out but i had a great time there. there were 8 mavs-comets there. a comet took the sportsman race of champions. also met erick-mav and 73'goose. badmav7086 and matt bong were there also. i think there were over 250 cars in the sportsman class. and about 850 cars there all together. :)
