Out in the 3rd first round but I won!!
Went to the North vs South at US41 drag strip in Morocco, IN this last weekend.
That was one wack day. Cudos for all of the organizers and sponsers but a big thumbs dowm for the track and their personel.
They called us in the bracket class for the first round and we dialed up and ran. (lost that one) Then they said that the computers were f'ed up and the whole first round would be run again after lunch. Well we dialed up and ran again (won that one). Then they announced that that was just another time run. A time run where everybody dialed in and they handicapped the start????? Well on first round number 3 I red lighted and put the car on the trailer. Later on we noticed that several times during the heads up classes that both cars would leave together and the right lane would get a red. 3 times we saw this happen and someone said that they slomoed it on video and there is do doubt that they left together. Well I redlighted in the right lane, or did I. Water under the bridge.
What I won was the top raffle prize again this year. A complete NX EFI kit.
So, not a bad trip after all.

Cool Al, that makes up for a day of BS. The takeover rounds, the timing problems and doing burnouts in the waterbox instead of pulling up out of the waterbox once the tires had water on them. US 41 dragway is a pretty strange place. Are you gonna spray the car?

Dunno yet. Thinking that spraying a H/C car with a stock 10 bolt and 4l60e could hurt $$$$$$
