There is a ford show and drags at Mason / Dixon Dragway 21003 National Pike Boonsboro MD this saturday the 22nd. I've never been there, but I'm going this saturday. Any one else?

Hi Dennis,

I have been there several times but it is too far from L'ville to visit now.  It is a very nice track in a beautiful setting and seems to be pretty well run.  The pit area is almost all grass and mostly in the sun so bring stuff accordingly.

See you in Columbus.

Thanks Doug for the tip. I looked at the aerial photographs and thought I should take some shade along.

Well, between showers I got one pass in. Made a rookie mistake though. I let off the gas after I passed the scoreboards, however the scoreboards weren't at the finish line. I had a couple hundred yards to go yet. The only good thing was I had an .003 light. I think I'm getting a handle on these lights.



The races were postponed 'till tomorrow - sunday. Were going back again.

Today was a good day. Danny O'Day the worlds fastest wheelstanding 1/4 miler stopped by as we were setting up. He stopped to talk y blocks. He has a 57 custom 300. I tried talking him into coming to Columbus, left a flyer in his hauler. He runs a 34 ford 9.1 @ 155mph on 2 wheels.



I had a .043 in my time trial, bogged on start. My.003 yesterday was good for a 1st round bye today. I had a .002 and ran a 18.58 on a 18.80. Glad for the bye.



Round 2 .089 and a 18.495 on a 18.50. Other guy broke out worse.



Round 3 -.084 red 18.60 on a 18.48 ended up 3rd place. Good practice for Columbus.



After I was finished 3 guys looked me up in the pits. Wanted to see my 312

Here's a shot of Danny O'Day and his wheel stander. I hope he can be persuaded to come to Columbus with his y block.

Dennis - good for you and way to go! I've seen that "312" - that motor can really get up and go! Tongue
