Default Re: 1/2 mile at Roosevelt Roads

AND .... my gosh it was a hot one today. The car's outside temperature reading was 110º. I think ambient was 90º. The track in Aguadilla starts slightly down hill and finishes slightly up hill and is into the wind. Roosevelt Roads (todays) is flat and level and we had a slight tail wind. No words for how badly I wanted official times. I had the usual goofs asking about the car. Is it a turbo or supercharged? Supercharged ..... Vortech or Procharger? Factory .... your kidding .... right? After posting my complaints about todays event all participants were offered a 50% discount on the next 1/2 mile and the next drag rental for free. (while waiting in line the sponsers cars ran again, and again, and again ...) And they made extra efforts to please the spectators while the participants missed lunch and baked in the sun. But most of the wrong wasn't directly their fault, but they were ill prepared to say the least and the racers were the ones that got screwed. And were the ones that payed the most.
