Default DRAG RACING at Moroso (Palm Bch Fl) Was nicely told my racing was over

Moroso now called Palm Beach Motor Sports recently opened after a several million dollar make-over. It is a 1/4 mile track.

Jim (Mr AMX) Ashley and I to check out the new track. Awesome, with a couple of issues pertaining to the rules of drag racing.

My first race was against Ashley
,...........RMA ............... AMA
R/T....... .124.............. .525
60 FT......1.871............ 2.306
330......... 5.232............ 5.893
1/8..........8.052............. 8.759
MPH.........86.79............. 85.41
1000........10.479............ 13.317
1/4..........108.90............ 103.02

That was my best time. Both Ashley and I were greeted by the track manager and given a warning for going too fast. ???????????? Seems that if you have a roadster, even with a helmut, under NRHA rules that if you run faster then 13.5 you are in violation of there rules and regulations. If you do it a second time you are asked to depart from the premises. BUMMER after driving 100 miles.

I went for a burger and Ashley kept racing. 13.0 12.9 and 12.8 My 2nd and 3rd run were over thev 13.5 required to continue racing. My 4th run was 12.6. When I was in line to run, the mgr pulled up next to me and informed me I was done for the night. It was 7:00. Jim was still racing and doing pretty good 12.4xx and 12.6xx.

The first link is a pix of Jim and I setting up to run. The 2nd is a video of me racing my 4th and final run.
