The Jester is at Rocket City Dragway this weekend!

Here’s how the weekend is going so far!

Number 2 qualifier after Q1 with a 4.32 @ 141mph. 4.18 #1 car ran a 4.18

Would it be racing without a few problems?!

1st problem of the weekend - the boost was only 38 psi, down from 49-50 the first run so we’ll have to do leakdown to check if the motor is OK.

2nd problem is the transbrake activated for split seconds 3 times during the run. It slowed the car and reset the shift controller making it bleed air off shift tower and put it back in first gear. When all that happened I got out of it and coasted from 2.8 seconds in the run.

Thanks, Jeffrey Walker for sharing a photo of the car and stats!!

Had a good outing this weekend at the State Capital Raceway "Battle on the Bayou" race. We tested on Friday and changed up gearing to better fit the new torque convertor. We qualified #3 in Q2 after blowing the tires off in Q1. Backed "The Jester" down again for Eliminations. Had a by-run in E1 but decided to make a full run to get more data. Dropped the #4 intake valve at 3 sec into run which ended our weekend. Much Thanks and Graditude for the crew and family for which without them we couldn't do what we love.

Ready for round 1 qualifying here at XRP raceway

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of our weekend at XRP Raceway. Good- ran a personal best 4.04 @ 185 mph with The Jester still tuned very soft due to our V300 Racepak recorder not making it back from repair at PDS for the race. Bad- still fighting through new car blues, this trip was the parachutes coming out during the burnout. Will fix this before the next time! Ugly- The heat 🔥,waking up to leg cramps not fun but looking forward to the next race in September.

With all of that said, I’m grateful I get to do something I have been building towards for years.
