Yup in the three TT and three Qualifying passes, I couldn't figure out how to slow down the car enough legally -- so I qualified 11 our of 11, putting me against Doug Duell who was on his number. I figured that he'd figure I'd break out -- so I went like Hell and then hit the breaks at about the 1100' mark. It was a little too early, he saw the front end dive and lifted for a 9.52 and I had a 11.19. I had him on the tree (although we both kinda sucked) but it wasn't enough. I need to put a weight box in the car -- and take it to the track and figure it out. The first time I'd sat in the car was Friday. I was told that it was having a hard time running a 10.5, so I figured it surely wouldn't do it with me. But thinking it over he was racing in New Mexico, Colorado, and Las Vegas where the air is bad. He was also telling me to launch the car at 4500 -- and I was doing a much better 60' when I started launching at 2000. I think the car is a 10.5 car with me if I air it out.
We left at 10:30 and I drove straight -- getting to the shop at 3AM. Unloaded and checked on ta few things -- then headed to the lake -- getting here at 5:30. Too late to go to sleep -- so I'll have to skip a night's sleep.
We're going to get both of the Coronets to the track this Saturday and try to iron them out.
