After a long, hot summer as usual for us, the weather was very nice last night at the start of our racing season!
At Speedworld Drag Strip, 3 local racing groups all had their season opening events, and the turnout was fabulous, as was the track!
Buick racers made an igreat showing, especially in the highly competitive heads-up index classes running a pro light.
RJ Reynolds had an impressive win with his WE-4 in the 11.50 E.T. class, and Dave Johnson was right behind him is his show-quality GSX big-block car.
Guy C. was also there with his awesome white T for time runs, and was "booted" for his 10 sec. passes with no roll bar?
Guess I will be seeing him in the shop shortly.
After a year and half of physical health issues, I was finally able to get back into the seat again at a competitive event which was the 10.0 E.T. heads-up class. I made it to the final round, and lost with a 0.022 break out to last year's points winner, and was very happy with how my car performed!
The "little" V-6 Buick turbo has proved again that it can be, and IS, competitive in racing events when properly set up. I was especially happy that 2 of my wins were over early Camaros with big-block V-8's!
Here is link to a local site for events of all kinds, and they have lots of race info as well:

They also did a feature my car with some pics as well.
