Paul Gibbs and the Cuda Beast team had hoped to be racing this weekend just down the road at the NMCA meet at Atlanta Dragway, but Paul decided to stay home in the face of a rainy forecast. When I spoke with him Friday, he said he was expecting the race to be cancelled, but the race is trying to move ahead today despite some rain delays.
Paul did say that he tested again last weekend at Brainerd Motorsports Park, and one test pass was encouraging -- a 4.29 after a 0.95 60-foot time and shutting off at midtrack when the car shook. Paul said that indicated the car was overpowering the track setup.
Paul said he is looking at renting the Chattanooga track for a testing day, which would give the team total freedom to run without affecting other racing. We'll let you know if that happens.
