Back on track


     It seems like an eternity (more than 3 months, anyway) since Paul thought about making a race with the Cuda Beast. Mechanical problems and simply the scorching summer heat combined to make racing more or less impossible. But that time has come again,  this weekend at the series finale at Rockingham Dragway. The car has received a thorough going-over and all of the engine issues have been addressed.
     It's going to be a tough field full of big-name nitrous racers, but Paul is hoping to crash their party. Last time out, the Beast ran a career best of 3.94, and Paul said he's looking for 80s this weekend. He said he was going to leave early on Friday in hopes of getting to the track in time to make a few test passes. I don't know how coverage of this race will shake out. The series has a facebook page, and the track may have some info, too. Not sure if there is any live streaming. We'll have to see.
     Anyway, racing is back.
