Finally the sun is out and it is almost getting warm. The track is hooking and the racing is getting intense. LSX Rumble Round 1 is complete and results will be posted soon.
While in the pits this morning I had the chance to talk to the driver of one of the most unique cars here this weekend. Nick Field of Houston Texas made the trip this weekend along with his Chevy Trailblazer supported by a 408 Cubic Inch Engine with a 88mm Turbo. The car ran its best time to date yesterday at 9.74 but Nick only made one qualifier due to the fact his team has three cars here this weekend. While Nick has stayed busy this weekend the team has had no major issues and has only been doing round by round maintenance to the cars. Nick plans to tune it up today and hopefully go some rounds in the Drag Radial Class.
One of Nicks teammates Mike Rhame brought his incredible Cadilac CTSV out this weekend equipped with a 6.2 L engine with a supercharger on it. Mike set the world record for the fastest Cadilac with a 10.76 at 130 mph last night in qualifying. Mike is very pleased with the track and has had a very smooth going weekend. Nick is not changing much on the car and planning on going some rounds in the LSX Rumble Class.
Jim Blanco may have made one of the longest hauls of anyone this weekend to make it here. Jim Made the trek down from New Hampshire with his beautiful 2006 Corvette. The engine built by 2lane performance and tuned by Vengeance this weekend has been spot on for the team. The team claims to have no major problems this weekend has even ran their personal best. Jim dialed in with an 11.50 and qualified with a 11.55 the team came out first round today and ran near perfect with a 11.51. Jim says the track is hooking and he plans to stay in the completion all day long.
