My first drag-race was like many first-time things I do -- jump in and make all the mistakes. It started by not having the borrowed helmet buckled as I approached the lane, so I fumbled with that. Then I had no clue about staging, so I got schooled while delaying the show. Then I "deep staged" without knowing that it's okay. The starter guy had to wave me down the track with a loud "GO".
After missing 2nd, I started to have fun.
So, yes, you did miss a good laugh...
Zen is flying out for business, so we're making the all-nighter trek in my car.
I'm cleaning the pollen out of my carbs that I picked up doing Misquito Ridge Rd and oiling the filters. The entire engine bay was coated yellow/green! EGT sensor shows #4 running rich on idle and lean on decel at cruise -- idle circuit... I shot some video, but the CruiseCam mount I have picks up all the car vibration and the video makes you car sick. Awesome road though!
