Oh My

Saturday, August 04, 2007

Well, it happend. Last night was round 5 of the Club Challenge at Firebird. 100 degrees at racetime and we are all hanging out under the canopy to watch the fun. Little Red was all over the place in time trials. 12:64, 12:60, As round one for bracket three is called, Chet dials in 12:58 on the window. Shaking his head as he knows the little pickup can run in the low 12:20's and 12:30's. The lights go green and they scream down the quarter mile stretch. Looks good, sounds great! Wouldn't you know it, Little Red breaks out with a 12:36! Oh Man! Uh Oh, backing off the accelerator brings a rash of rattles and clunks! Chet shuts it down and catches a ride back to the pits from Les Maiden. They get the Ford and the trailer and head off to get Little Red. His night is done. This morning Little Red is up on blocks in the shop. We can only hope....
