Till Next Year

So our racing season is officially over because my husband won't let me overnight new heads.  Went to test and tune yesterday, thought everything was running good and that we were going to make some great passes.  Well before that could happen we started the car and it wasn't runningit should.  We tore down the engine to find that a valve seat had came loose and the inside didn't look like it should.  So unless I win the lottery today we cannot run this year.  However this is not goodbye to my racing, We will be ordering parts and rebuilding through the winter.  Next season will go better and I will make a full pass.  I will keep everyone updated.

It's race day...

We are heading out to Rocky Mountain for a test and tune day.  Hoping all goes well.  I have learned that racing is very unpredictable, which is very hard for somene who likes to have a minute to minute plan, like I do.  The plan today is to make a 300 foot pass.  Will post more, hopeflly good news, tomorrow.

Peach Days

We went to the car show and had an awesome day.  We ran into a photographer who recognized the car and said he had some pictures from Rocky Mountain Raceway.  They are great.  His website is thanks2frank.com.  The pictures are under Grafitti Drags and Nostalgia Drags.  If you have a chance check them out.

Peach Days

We will have the car at Peach Days Car Show.

Learning to race

I have created this  blog so my family could follow my journey learning to drag race.  I started my journey in April and attended Frank Hawleys Drag School.  It was an amazing and alot harder then I anticipated. My husband used to race and he built my car.  It is an altered/funny car.  It is a 1942 Fiat with a Chevy big block engine.  The name of my car is MisBehavin.  On Friday August 26th we went to Rocky Mountain Raceway to make first runs in our car.  We had a couple minor driver errors, thats me, and a problem with the fuel being too rich.  It was a very productive day and we fixed our problems.  We went back out Saterday ready to try again.  Saterday was also a success I made it all the way down the track without the car shutting down.  Very happy moment.  On August 31 I had to have surgery on my right hand so depending on what the doctor says this may be the end of our race season.  I will keep you updated.
