Date is set!!!

Folks,

It is finally about to happen. Barring any catastrophic events, I will make my drag racing debut in the SuperComp car on the weekend of August 4-6 at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas. 


Friday August 4th is a Friday night street racer night but I will be able to run the dragster to get some seat time and tune the car.

Saturday and Sunday will be actual bracket racing days that I will race in if I can qualify.

You are all welcome to come out and watch/support me if you would like to. I am sure I will be very nervous and preoccupied with the sensory overload that I will be experiencing so forgive me in advance if I am not my normal self. 

I would love to have your support, I know a lot of you have been following my journey and are excited for me. I am getting so excited the closer I get to going down the race track for the first time in 38 years.

Please pray for us to have a safe and productive weekend.

I still have a lot of things to do to get ready but I am getting closer every day. If I cannot make it for some reason, I will let all of you know before the event.

I have been doing a lot of upgrades to the car and I think it is going to run great!

I have also been working on rigging the trailer to have all of the things I need to race and work on the car. Here is a couple of pictures of the inside of the trailer.

First Run

We just finished all of our family obligations and now I am working on the dragster again. I have gone over everything and I think it is ready. I drove it around a bit in our driveway to make sure all of the systems work on it. I also did a couple of dry hops in the driveway. The car is powerful and feels good.

I am tentatively going to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas on August 4th, 5th, and 6th to run the car for the first time.

The 4th is just a street racing and testing night followed by a sportsman series race on Saturday and Sunday.

My plan is to get as many runs as I can on Friday night and try to qualify for the sportsman race on Saturday.

You are all welcome to come out to watch and support me. I am sure I will be nervous so your prayers will be welcome!
