Default Completed 10 runs at E-town Friday Nite

What a nite at E-town. I was worried that I would travel 240 miles for 3 runs and $20. Well doing the math it was 24 miles per run at $2 per.

Had my best also with a 12.899 at 111.67 mph (another 13.074 at 110.22 and a 13.082 at 111.48) with a 2.170 60'. I wanted to try and work on my 60' time but didn't really get any better. Of the 9 other runs, 2.191, 2.228, 2.236, 2.249, 2.257, 2.267, 2.278 2.287 and a smoking tire 2.664. RT's were pretty good as well with a smile generating .005 on one run.

Other highlights of the night included a power outage which halted racing for about a 1/2 hour. I could of had an even dozen runs

Can't wait for the 23rd.

Yes, don't understand it. It was a beautiful nite. Got a little chilly towards the end. Even the announcer wsas surprised. I was happy to say the least. As a newbie, really needed the practice.

I have tested one friday and ran gambler's another and you get an abundance of runs. The wednesday crowd tends to shun fridays i guess? but I get around 10 runs with half hour breaks to not hot lap my car much.

Yes it was a lucky day for me. I will pay for it tomorrow by having to work in the yard, but it was well worth it.
