Our 2012 drag racing season got off to a challenging start -- mostly due to Mother Nature!
The NHRA Division 2 race in Gainesville, Fla., kicked off the 2012 season. We fared well through the first round, finishing up Saturday night around 9 p.m. (you'd think we were at a local bracket race!). Crazy storms came through overnight, only to leave behind 30+ mph winds.
NHRA finally decided to run the race -- shortened to 1/8th mile. Since we don't run much 1/8-mile, we were left at a disadvantage. And, unfortunately we went out round 2.
From Gainesville we went to Daytona Beach for Trevor's work during "Speed Weeks" before heading to Cecil, Ga., for the next NHRA Division 2 race...and more of Mother Nature's wrath.
Friday was a beautiful day, while Saturday was a complete wash for Super Comp. Rain started late in the morning and continued through the night.
Here it is Sunday...clear, cooler, and WINDY again. Another race shortened to 1/8th-mile. We'll see what the race holds for us...
