race at sanford NC

I hate Bad grounds and electric Fan's.... made a 3 hour pull to Sanford NC.. Lee county Mud Motorsports for those into racing it's home of the Scooby doo racing team, they where having a 9 second 'bracket race' run as close to 9 seconds as you can with out breaking out... left the house a little after 6 and got there about 1030 get the truck backed off the trailer letting it warm up turn on my electric fan and it pop's a fuse... put in a new fuse turn it on again and pop's another one... get to checking the fan and it had froze up okay so ive made a 3 hour trip and have no cooling fan, but turns out i was first in the pit and last (inverted field for second half) so i pull up to the line (trucks only running in the 140 range by the time i get there so i let it warm to 160 and launch it starts to turn up then just start's dying turns out i had a bad ground... so i get it fired back up and pull to the pits get teh grounds all cleaned and tightened and go watch the race tell my turn... and my second pass...



I hit the last hill and the score board said 5 second's so i let completely off of it then got back on it about 7.5 and the truck never opened up, i soon found out that both battery's broke loose and slung forward yanking my ground nearly completely off again...



little bro ended up 13th with the jeep with a 10.6 run and i ended with 14th and a 10.7 run he took home $200 and i took home $100 there was something like 45 trucks in it....

It snowed here Friday and Saturday, so no more racing for me.

It was 85 here yesterday... lol

I got atleast 2 more race's id like to make, BUT Next Saturday open's the rifle part of the Freezer stocking season so idk if ill get to any more than those 2 races..

I've had days like that in the mud!!
It sounds like you recouped some fuel $$. So not all is bad.
I'm done for the year. Put antifreeze in the truck last week.
It wouldn't be a problem if I still mud raced but they don't like the stuff on the 1/4 mile.

Ive gotta re fill mine with some Anti freeze soon. its starting to get cooler here at night
