33 brave souls outlasted 3 brief showers and gale force headwinds last night at CB Dragway. Man, was it COLD!! We had the printer in the back of my VW and we had to huddle behind the raised hatchback. We had lots of first timers with some pretty quick front wheel drive cars. Not all Hondas either - there was some GM muscle there like a turbo Cavalier and a supercharged Cobalt.
Doug Wrathall got his 1969 Camaro to launch pretty hard but had trouble getting hold of the top part of the track. Last pass off and on the gas around 1000' netted an easy 9.28 at almost 150.
Sheldon Brewer's Dart was getting a tuneup for this coming weekend at Greenfield and Chris MacDonald made a few 9 second passes in his LeMans. Oddly enough there wasn't one Mustang to be seen but there were a couple of late model Camaros and a Firebird. Bikes and sleds were off a little bit because of the wicked headwind. Julieanne Harrietha was getting some seat time in her Dad's Dragster and made a few easy passes to get used to the beast.
Thanks to Jordan White and Barry Grossett for the help with Tech and Timecards and thanks to the people who braved the cold and the showers. There were more CBDRA Members there for the setup, operation and teardown than I can remember for a good many years. Best of all I actually enjoyed myself for a change.
