Last Night
 
Last nights Iron Man race had a good turnout of cars and spectators for a saturday race. Alot of racers commented and said the track was working real good. Congratulations to all the winners of the Iron Man trophies. A few Top Dragsters were in the house making shakedown passes in preparation for todays showdown. Brian Pennington from Kentucky cranked out a 3.86 @179mph in the right lane. We have about 5 more dragsters arriving today along with the 4.70 doorslammers. It's going to be an exciting show. Gates open @ 3 and admission is only $10 for woman and $15 for men. Hope to see you there!

6.0 and 7.0 race today
 
Don't forget we will be having a 6.0 and 7.0 race today. $800 to win with 12 car min,

LXtasy 07-03-2011 01:15 PM

how did he get his mph from the right lane? i made two passes one at 22mph and the other at 30 mph per my tickets.

LDELEE 07-03-2011 01:46 PM

I really had to consider should I respond to this post or not, but here goes. A 3.85 pass will equate to speeds around that time. These top dragsters have ran these times and speeds before and even quicker at Dorchester. This is the first time someone mentioned there mph was off yesterday. I was up in the tower when you made your passes and did not notice any incorrect mph. If you could give me your car # I possibly can pull the log sheet back up and see what your mph was. That way we can verify that a problem did exsist and address it. Thnx, in advance.

LDELEE 07-03-2011 01:53 PM

In honor of our millitary personnel, we are letting all millitary members in for $5until 8. Just show your millitary I.D. It's just a token of our thanks for the support and sacrificies you do for this country.

bwelch 07-03-2011 01:53 PM

It does the mph crap alot but just the right lane.

LDELEE 07-03-2011 01:57 PM

@ bwelch, the next time that happen please bring your ticket stub to the tower so we can address the problem.

It's nice to see support for our service men. Good job.

bwelch 07-03-2011 02:02 PM

will do. It comes and goes. It will work fine for a couple weeks then it want. I think its something with the plug for the sensors of maybe a wire short. Dont yall remove them at the end of the night and reinstall them right before yall open?

LDELEE 07-03-2011 02:10 PM

@ 1iron, Thanks. @ bwelch, we jus disconnect the plug from the sensor. This is a brand new sysytem that we just purchased last year. Anyone, if this happens to you from this point forward please bring it to our attention so that we can investigate further.

bambooi 07-03-2011 02:22 PM

I've seen it happen maybe a month or so when I went to Dorchester Dragway. I guess you guys were not aware of it. It happen to tara, forcefed, and 1998ta__1991rs

LXtasy 07-03-2011 03:41 PM

#458. I also have the timeslips to prove it . I went slower than I ever have. My motor and nitrous pass were the exact same et. I was on the brakes first pass and went 30mph on motor. last pass was on nitrous and I went same et (go figure) and slowed down to 22 mph. My motor pass was .6 off and I will verify today at bowman my times. Could be something on my end before I say much on that.

slowgreen99 07-03-2011 04:14 PM

Like Brian said, its not all the time incorrect with the MPH, but I will mention it if it gives me an off number again. On a good note, Zacs diesel truck has been a 5.29 @ 45 before in the left lane. We were ready to lock in with anybody.

Plenty tracks gives females a discount. Darlington charges females $1, Carolina used to give discount also but im not sure if they still do. Alot of women arent into racing like us men but they come anyway "just" to show support. When I bring my fiance to the track if im not going down the track shes not paying much if any attention to whats going on as far as racing goes. Alot of tracks does this also because not every guy comes to the track to race or even see a race, alot of em come for the women. More women = More men and and more men and women = More $$$$. Thats not just at the track thats everywhere. Marketing Strategies work.

Make the track a place where women feel comfortable and they'll gladly pay full price to come support their men.

Edit: Anyhow I shouldn't have said anything. End Rant.

Who won last night??That black mustang put me out.

Darryl Buckner 07-03-2011 06:11 PM

I got runner up in no box with marks black mustang. Had the better reaction in the final and ran out of gas. Just wasnt meant to be,I guess. My lights stayed between .507 to .528 except the final round it was .543. Still had a blast. That was a double points race so I am curious to see where I am at in the points.:bigthumb:

Darryl Buckner 07-03-2011 06:12 PM

The guy that won in no box was the white 65 or so mustang.Robert won the pro class.:bigthumb:
