Fun night at KMP, joined by BP and the MostMint one.
My GMC Canyon and I went 3 rounds in Truck Eliminator.
Dialed in 14.95, sadly my race was close and I turned a 14.94.
As always, KMP is a good time.

I went out with the idea of running my best ET in the S10. With the new drag shocks and my "race wheels", I thought this would be possible with the good air that was coming. My first pass was a promising 11.31 (best was 11.27). Second pass got me there with an 11.26. Third pass was only a .32 for some reason, but I was satisfied heading into eliminations.
I wasn't sure what class to run, but after some deliberation, and $100 on the line, I decided to run Animal. Five rounds later, I was coming home with the cash and the sticker cuz apparently, they still haven't figured out that they need trophies for race day.
My worst RT was in the finals and was a .06. I had a .01 in the 3rd round that saved me when I had a little tire spin and ran flat out a .44 on a .32.
Super fun night indeed!

Managed to get the K&N kit installed into the red Caddy in order to see how much it would help

The car was pretty consistent.

first time run 14.04
2nd time run 14.06 though I manually held it in 3rd since last pass it shifted right before the end of the traps. Then
last time run 14.03
Round 1 14.04 on 14.02 dial with just a touch of brakes
Round 2 14.00 on 14.01 double breakout mine was less
Round 3 13.99 on 13.97
Round 4 14.02 on 13.97 hard on the brakes about 10 MPH slower
Round 5 13.94 on 13.95 red bulb - runner up in stock class

In the final the car I was racing against was .5 faster than me and I got distracted by the bulb on the other side of the tree. I redlighted the last two time runs and really had my doubts if I would win any rounds.

The track mgt does not know how to put down glue, and can't figure out how to have trophies. I just got the trophy from May and now I'm back in the same boat. Grrr.
