Adrenaline Rush-Greenlight Nationals Report August 25, 2024Thanks to Scott Collin for reporting on the Greenlight Nationals last weekend.
After talking with Jay F and Belinda Bull about the Sportsman Nationals in June, who would have a chance to think about the possibility of joining them in the 7. 60 in 2025, we might actually take it over this year! Witnessing their arrival forced me to think about how to keep the car in this competition again, and the process of bringing the car to its rightful position began. With Turner's redemption in mind, I applied for my MSA license. Once it arrived, it all really began! At the Sportsman Nationals, we demonstrated a permanent 8. 0, but only before that we demonstrated a 7. 9 to earn the right to participate in the festivities.
I took a week off before Mopar to do some serious configuration at Inlet Bolshak. As a result, I took a week off before Mopar to do some serious configuration at Inlet Bolshak. On Saturday evening I sat down at my laptop, recorded the data, and revealed the facts that my emotions suggested were necessary to lead me to the numbers I needed. In the first race on Sunday afternoon, I got 7. 90 on the first lap, and then 7. 87 at 174 mph.
We did it! Less than a week later, we loaded up and were back for 2 Live at the Greenlight Nationals. It was a great class and a mythical and rich weekend. My first ever competitor was a heads-up way to cover a competent tree! In the first race, I decided to hook up a third fuel pump, as the data I bought from Mopar demonstrated the best working cycle of the injectors. Because of this, I think the quickest difficulties related to voltage arose, for example, when the assault rifle almost jammed while driving. We did 10. 2@132 mph and then pulled away halfway down the highway. When we returned to the pits, there was nothing in the data magazine to indicate what had happened. Since I only changed one fuel pump switch, I turned it off and returned to Q2, again running 7. 95@171mph, continuing to add 16psi with the scramble button later on in the freeway.
As a result, the machine could not be controlled smoothly. As a result, the boost started through a certain number of wires with the absolute tables of the controlled work cycle. Q3 encounters Mark Turner. He was 1/10 faster than anyone, but the lead from the start line did not grow! At this pass, we needed a 12PSI boost, and a 16ps boost to take it to the new PB of 7, 66 @ 177Mph at 30m. The Belfe was occasionally sitting in the burning box and applauded Jeff, who was trying to shake his hand. What was the greeting when collecting parachute at the end of the highway? Wow, what a elegance! Everyone jumped out of the car, hugged, shake hands, and applauded! We were like this. In the first race, 7, 6 points, 7, 60 points, and the reaction was 0, 17 points. I wanted to sleep a little, but I think this is the first hea d-up skill in a professional tree! For a while, he was third in qualifying.
Belinda quickly jumped behind me and defeated me. On Sunday afternoon, when we went to Q4, Monica told me to work. For example, it was 7, 68 at 300 km / h. In such races, the rear door was slightly increased, but this is likely to be due to power. For example, if you wanted to find something in the qualifying lap, you should have been in front of the course. Changed the operation of the boost lamp slightly, and in two stage mode, another 100 rpm. And now, there is no pressure, and I am again confronted the champion's candidate brand Turner. Unfortunately, when I released the brake button, I got off the throttle and everything was over. The only thing I could do was chasing! As a result, we lost 7, 79 while Marx was 7, 62 at 275km/h. If I didn't, would he be able to make a wonderful start with the finish? I don't know! With a wonderful judge, he won the 2024 championship. This class is really wonderful. I'll come again ... 110%
I am grateful to the Monica Series. At Green Light Nationals, I would like to thank the crew's Whut Harris and Anis Shepard. I can't wait next year to get more competitive in this class. Modernization has already begun with the latest generators and Magnian fuel fuel pumps. Let's see how this actually works on the back of HRD.
Quic k-byte August 25, 2024Former Top Fuel Bike Racer Roel and Willis Wars Racer's wife, Mick Pane's wife, Happy Birthday. I believe you will have a wonderful day.
The first day of Fim-E NitroryMPX will be hot and Saturday will be even hotter. August 24, 2024Drag racing Thank you for Nitrolympx and this report to Remco School in Europe:
Every time NitrolyMPX, Hockeyhaiming, Friday in Germany, it is a small access to events in the context of visiting Rico ANTHES Quarter Mile, which is not used melancholy. The first qualifying session was a reading, and it was possible that it was possible not to be interested if there were many disabilities, failures and delays, but the second session was a little better, but the line itself. Was really baked under the sun.

Bonne Building Report 2024, Part 1. August 24, 2024I am grateful that Nitro Revival Sponsor Jeff Stilbera shared a successful trip to Bonneville Speed Week in early August:
The top fuel engine was loaded behind the race car, but why didn't you go faster? I will answer like this. "Hold the car and come to try it."
In order to give a logistics idea, the team has just returned at a very successful speed week, and we are already on November 8th to 10th in El Mirage, which is not far from Los Angeles. I hope that the race Bulda will be actually solved.
The team consists of 12 people. I have already arranged airplanes and hotels. Vehicles require gas inspection, truck and trailer maintenance and worn tires. In the trailer and lace car, all wheel bearings must be disassembled, washed, and r e-injected before going to El Mirage. Team transportation is not easy. There are rigs, vans, support trucks, and support cars. You need planning and dedication.
Let's talk to what happened in 2024. As you may know, from 2019 to this year, the trend of mother nature and Kobit has spent water on our plan. Like last year, I was blessed with the weather this year. Well, I'm glad I was able to race for a week. The drawback is that we face extreme temperature exceeding 100F (38 ° C) ... In fact, the hottest day was 109F, almost 43 ° C. Fortunately, the humidity did not exceed 19 %, and some days were less than 5 %. However, being overwhelmed by the heat, it is important to drink vitamin water and energy drinks all day. Even on the first day of the circuit, my best friend on a 200 mm Camaro suffered a terrible dehydration and had to call the Pit Rescue Corps. There is nothing to prepare for the heat. If you ask Rob Rolling, it will explain everything in a very simple term (laughs).
Anyway, I decided to refresh the engine before leaving the race shop in Pomona. I removed the rod and piston, checked everything, cleaning, and restoring. With a quick start, I was ready to load the race car on the trailer. At 5:00 am on August 1, we left the shop and ran 700 miles to the nearest town of Wendover. After 16:00, I entered the caravan park behind the hotel. The plan was to put the trailer on the salt pit on Thursday night, but it was a long day, so I decided to leave early on Friday. < SPAN> The team is composed of 12 people.
