<2009 SEASON>

April 3, 2009

Short on cash.
Didn't make any improvements to the car over the winter.
My neighbor who sold his Mustang last year, bought
a 2002 Ford Lightning pickup. Now I will be getting beat by a
pickup truck.

Made the opening grudge/street race at the 1/8 mile
Rolling Thunder @ the MidAmerica Motorplex (MAM).

It's short but at least it's within a hours drive of home.

I made 13 passes.
I wasn't able to get much traction at first.
But after a couple of hours of racing the track got a more
sticky.

August 21, 2009
Cash flow is non existant.
Only second time out this year.
No changes made to the car...
weather was cool & humid...

My neighbor wanted me to join him @ the 1/8 mile track close to home.
He keeps improving his 2002 Ford Lightning.
My car remains the same.....slow....

I got there late but still made 8 passes.
