Thunderbird Your Clear For Flight
Finally made it back to the track last weekend. I went to the ford Race At Maryland International Raceway. I put my delay box in and ran both Top and Mod ET. It was the first time I actually raced in Top ET. I went three Rounds
in top and lost due to my error of pushing through the beams before the brake was applied. I lost third round.
I also went four rounds on Mod ET. I lost in the Fourth round when my car would not fire due to a dead battery. ( Damn It)
All in all I made 11 passes on the car. It ran Between 5.91 and 5.98 all day long @117 MPH. This was over 10 hours and changing track conditions. I was bummed out and happy all at the same time. I had no
expectations and the car actually won me more rounds than I did.
My 16 year old son was there helping and the only things we did at the track was fuel, tire pressure, and charge the battery.
My son took this picture. I though I would share.

I was there also but regret not seeing you. Did meet a lady in the stands who's father was running both Mod and Top and it was a t-bird. Just not sure if it was your daughter or not. I think it was you though. 3rd round went red when car rolled the beams.

I was thinking about the front end limiters, however I did not know if it would upset the traction, or the balance
of the car. (Read) Don't know anything about front end limiters.
