Terrible Day at the dragstrip

I was really excited to go to the track this weekend and watch some racing at Orlando Speedworld. My weekend instead went as follows.

Saturday night racing was rained out.
Stayed in a crappy Ramada Inn for the night.
Sunday morning get to the track, get tech'd in, wait in staging lane for an hour, about to start racing and then it rains.
Leave for an hour. Come back and make 1 pass.
14.0 @ 101.5 terrible
Go to get my slip and the 60' says 0.000 :-|
Leave to go to work.


It was a hott day at the track. Even the GTR that ALWAYS runs 10.5's was only doing 11.2 Thought I would share my crap weekend with everyone. Hope yours was a lot better.

Rain can suck but not at a road course. Keep racing there. That's what I love. But it happens. Go to the bar drink a little have fun elsewhere. Always have a story to tell when you come back from going out of town. Better luck next time.

I hope it was on the HWY coming home. Shouldn't be any rocks on the track. They did a poor job sweeping and blowing down the track if that happened. Either way I would be pissed....
