Best of luck!! (don't do any heavy lifting) Yeah, I took it easy, let crew handle fuel jugs 😃 We did get to make 2 runs, and had lots of fun !! First run, left lane, a 5.92 @ 113+ MPH, then after dark ran right lane, and went 5.74 @ 115+ MPH !! Both runs were nice and straight, track was in very good shape 😎

Even stopping for fuel is an adventure !! Lots of onlookers with questions, especially when I opened the trailer to grab an iced tea from the cooler 😁 Then we cranked up some Pink Floyd, got on the Hiway and next stop was in Benton, Illinois !! 😎

Well, our first ever double-header was a bust (kind of) it sounded good on paper, if the car is in the box, and events are 5 miles apart, sounds easy, until you load and unload everything twice while it's 91* out !! LOL, keep forgetting I'm not 40 years old anymore... We pulled off the Carshow, and won a huge Trophy for 'Most Creative' even got to burp throttle on TransBrake, to tease them a little !! But after getting loaded up, the thought of putting in another 9 hours was just too much !! We'll be back in 3 weeks at Jeffers for the Michael Ritchie Memorial !! 😎

Car is in the box, chute is packed, 16V battery on charge, fuel jugs full… We are ready for this Saturday, our final event of the Season !! This is also the last 3 runs on this engine, we are putting 20% Nitro in the tank, taking advantage of the cooler weather, driving it out the back door, and going for a career best ET !! 😎

Our final event of 2023 !! We made 2 runs at the Memorial Race for Michael Ritchie, Linda & Ricky Skelton, and David Leonard. It was quite chilly, and hard to get down the track, but we made the best of it and ran 5.97 @ 112+ MPH in the Right lane, swapped to Left lane and ran a 5.88 @ 114+ MPH !! Wheels up launches on both runs, followed by tire spin from halftrack to finishline, got to show off my driving skilz !! LOL

^ That's a lot of cubes. We always tried to abide by the 500 cubic inch rule, but in reality, no one cares !! So we're making the leap, and jumping up to 1250 HP, from 750 HP !! The 30 day Countdown has begun, the 2024 Season looks to be our biggest ever !! Thanks to the Kaylie Foundation for stepping up, and jumping into the Wild World of Funny Car racing !! In other off-season news, I adopted MoMo, he's a year old Maine Coon, and Very vocal !! BackMotor World Headquarters is well guarded with MoMo on duty !!
