Tru Blue Drag Racing Championships- Australia Day Weekend - Sun 25th Jan 2009.
Tuff and I had some fun this week end, and it went a little like this.................................
I raced with two other female racers, Jacqui and Leanne Braggs ( yes there are two Leanne B's in this world! hahahaha).
There were approx 85 cars in our class ranging from 7 secs to 12 sec cars.
i ran three qualifiers, but sadly not cool enough to try for a 10.20, but my two rounds went a little like this..
Ist eliminator - leanne lines up against Sin 454 - Ford cortina with a big block, Sinisha is racing, well known and been around for awhile, very competitive.
Rolled into stage, Leanne dialed in 10.48- Sinisha a 9.48 - Leanne's lights go down, reacts with a .465 to sinisha's RED LIGHT, got out the hole clean, made it across the traps Leanne a 10.487 on a 10.48 and Sinisha a red light with a 9.44 break out on a 9.48 dial in- LEANNE VERY HAPPY at end of the track!!!!!
2nd eliminator- Racing Dandy engines not sure of the engine but in a Ford xw or Xy falcon- his dial in was a 9.45 to Leanne's 10.47- Rolled into stage, Leanne's Lights go down, left the tree with a .425 reaction to his .458 reaction, got to about 1000 ft and broke traction, started spinning the rears and he just pipped me across the traps- I ran a 10.63, way off what I thought, but I lost time and I lost to him.
Does'nt matter - I had a great day, I ran good reactions which was my focus and did good burnouts and Tuff ran like a dream all day, I lost fair and square but happy not to go out first round, I was determined not to go out first round.
I ran a 1.45 60 foot in Qualifying and pleased to say the other Leanne went 5 rounds before she lost by 73 thousands of a second to another good racer, she ran .4 reactions all day too- way to go huh!
I will definitely be racing at the next meeting, there was a big crowd too which was nice and all 3 of us girls had nice comments from other males and male racers too which was nice to hear!
Can't wait for the next race meeting in March I think, also running a 1320 x meeting here at Heathcote raceway on March 14th .
