Okay, this is going to be a long one. Full recap for
@tx2k ā26! This event was the first time Iāve been in the car in a YEAR! The guys (Matt- Iām talking about you) spent time working on the car and improving bits to be sure it was ready to go for this season.
We started off testing Tuesday with some bugs to work out. The car was just fighting me every bit of the way and would not hook. I was able to click an 8.8 during testing which boosted my confidence a ton. Qualifying rounds came, and we fought some more with a 9.2 as our best time. Finally, during our very last qualifier, we did it. An 8.2 @ 167mph which not only put me back in the field, but was a personal best for me as a driver! Elimination round 1 I was paired with Jaz. I was able to beat him on the tree and take the holeshot win with a 8.14 @ 176mph, another pb. E2 I had to race my buddy Nick
@nickbuilt , he definitely gave me a run for my money but I came out on top that round with a 8.3 @ 175mph. Of course, semi finals come and I have no other than Matt
@mattybugeye from
@insomniamotorsports . Unfortunately, he had an issue with the car so he had to abort the run giving me the win into the final with a 8.10 @ 170mph, yet another personal best for me. Final round I was able to cut a great light, but unfortunately the car spun and based on how it felt, I decided it was best to get out of it.
Overall, EXTREMELY happy and beyond grateful. Everyone worked so hard to get the car ready and worked even harder to get it dialed in for me at the track.
