Jeff, thank you.
it was a good day.
I'll have results later.
just fifnished unloading the van.
I got home 10pm last night and was tired.
now I need to take some time to compile results into an understandable format and download pics from the camera.
then upload pics to PB so I can share.
bear with, many of the details I usually try to provide are not available so I will do the best with what I have.
be back in awhile

Spring Brake report
April 9 2016
First and foremost I want to thank Hank Galloway for his assistance in renting the Blue Comets Motorcycle Club hall, recovering a wayward package sent to the halls address in error and setting the banquet tables up while I set up the track Friday night.
Big thanks to Tom Stumf for supplying Henry J bodies to each entrant and bringing RRR and DASH products for racers to purchase.
Darryl Lindenmuth donated some bodies for prizes, Joe Skylark donated a Randy Matlock custom resin body and other items for prizes, Dennis Sieck sent some cool race stuff along with Slot Lodge stickers and I provided numerous resin bodies from various makers along with silicone slip on tires.
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place engraved plaques for each class.
Welcome to new racers Dave Marsh and his son Devin Marsh along with world famous Tom Stumf.
Welcome back Joe Skylark, Winston and Gat who have been MIA for quite awhile.
Thank you to the regulars: Hank, Jim P, Kelvin, Cordell, Joe Loh, G$, MAC, Tom P, Darryl, Tony, ED, and Bill B.
we had some mail in (proxy) entries from Rob (blackoxx), E C Bill, Dave SR and Dave JR to help bolster the fields.
So, that makes 21 registered racers and a total of 149 entries in 7 classes of 1/64 scale drag racing.
I was unable to complete the portable ΒΌ mile MaxxTraxx track, so I took my 1/8 mile WIZZARD track powered by a variable 30 volt, variable 10 amp power supply. Power taps are in the middle of each 6' section and at each end of the track for reliable electrical conductivity the full length of the track.
6' of steel bar provides the shut down.
Timing provided by TrackMate Drag Pro 3000.
as you might imagine, this was a full day of competition and fun.
As usual we got started qualifying an hour late (I will try to work on that so we can get done earlier) and racing went smoothly after that.
Some surprises, some upsets and many great side by side races throughout the afternoon.
Complete details (to the best of my ability) and pics real soon.
Stay tuned

So this was my first drag meet with my son. What a blast, wanted to thank Al and Hank and the Blue Comet MC for running and hosting the event. All the drivers were very cool and helpful to two newbies. We felt very welcomed, been trying to find somthing the kiddo and I could do together for years, think we got it. I just wish it was a more regular thing. Highlights for me was making the top 4 in the 4 gear class and seeing Devin get all the nickels on his perfect reaction time, he has a great trigger finger! Once again many thanks guys!
