WENT to the CAJUN NAT'S LAST NIGHT,was held at MARK MARTIN'S TRACK,,we did OK,,but we honestly brought a barlow pocket knife to a machine gun fight,we were so out motored,,these guys race this series for a living,,these are the big boys of the class... they travel around and race weekly,they came from surrounding states in motor homes and nice trailers.CORY still came in 5th in the B MAIN,,WAS running 4th and right at the end of the race running about 85 mph ,the car hit a hole or a bump and unloaded the frt end and threw it almost head on into the concrete wall,,rung his bell for a few minutes,,,so our night was over,,so we have some work to do to get the little ford ready for ol pop to drive it in 2wks....there were 47 cars in the class,,,we knew we were out gunned when we got there,so we wanted to just outrun the locals that we race with weekly,,,,and we did just that......so all in all we had a good night,,,,CORY is alittle sore today...but he ain't hurt.....pop

I need to go to keep me motivated on My 65. All the wile I am at the track I am thinking I should be home working on mine. When I get home reality sets in, finish the remodel on the kitchen, replace the garage door and four pieces of siding on the house.

OL POP feels the same way while sittin in a barber shop waiting to get a haircut,,,as I sit there I'm thinking what I could be doing at home ,,,,,,then when I get home ....I PUT IT OFF,til another day

I got my newest National Dragster Magazine today, and to my surprise I seen my name in it. I made it to the finals a few weeks ago and red lit giving the win away. Well turns out the winners picture is in National Dragster. I was that close to having a picture of my car in there. That makes me more mad at myself for red lighting. A friend of mine sent me a link to an article from the track's local newspaper from that weekend and they had me in a 66' Comet .

At least that is better than earlier this year when I lost in a final. The couple postings from that race had me driving a 69' Nova . That was the car I raced against.

[Jims65cyclone]

Tough luck. At least they got the Comet part right.
Jim

[popscomet]

COOL !!!! if you never red light,,,,that just proves you ain't tryin hard e'nuff.....pop

[popscomet]

ALL LOCKED AND LOADED !! tonight and 3 more,,,hope it rains 1 or 2 out...then season's over !!! just looking for a safe night .....we changed rear gear ...oughta be a little more spunky when I hit the gas tonight.....back later with the ...good ,gad and the ugly.....pop

[poboyjo65]

good luck!!

[popscomet]

WELL it was more spunky with the gear,for sure,,,ran pretty strong til it got up in the 6's rpm,,then it had a flutter,,we had rejeted it so I thought we might have to much,,cause I could get it to clear up just a tad,,,,brought it back to the pits and when I was called out to run the feature race,,it busted right off,,I cleared it out and it died ,,started right back up and died again ,this time it was dead in the water,,no gas.....THE COTTON PICKIN FUEL PUMP DIED,,,SO MY NIGHT WAS OVER,,,but my son WON the A FEATURE....as he is the points leader and it sure looks like he is going to win the championship 2yrs in a row ...I was thankful my fuel pump died instead of his....so as far as OL POP is concerned we had a great night.....so pop didn't get to go to the pay window,but Dwayne said he won enuff ,he buy me a 6pak of bush lite....it don't get much better then that.....POP
