It's been a long time since my last post so I guess it's high time for an update! So here we are, facing the last 2 races of the season and with the exception of a rain out and missing one trip to Cecil, G2 has been to all of the races. With upwards of 50 passes this year for both the car and rookie driver we are both holding our own.
Driver: Goal for the year is to be the most improved Rookie of the Year. Considering all you guys have a lot more experience under your belts it looks like Rookie of the Year is within reach since I think I'm the only Rookie!!! All kidding aside I have learned a lot. And there is a lot more to come for 2014...
Car: She's the prettiest slow car out there if I do say so myself! Her best pass of 15.20 was recorded by Billy Atwood taking her for a test run at Cecil. My best run in her was a 15.21 so I guess the driver isn't too bad after all.... A couple of months ago she started to bog down at somewhere around the 60 foot mark and then takes off to run good on the top end. Our last weekend will see some new parts which include a new distributor and carb. If she starts purring after a tune up maybe we can really see what that 440 can do!
And for 2014: I'm sure most of you have heard about and also seen the next ride... It's a certain Sassy Grass 71 GTX! Funny this is G2 went up against the 71 on her very first pass at Englishtown this year! Who knew she was running against her replacement!!! Time to be thinking about 2014 Goals..... Maybe there is a quick 8 in my future!
Thanks to all you guys for being such great sports and a bunch of fun to hang around with! Maybe some day you will see me pass you instead of always being able to wave to me in your rear view mirrors!
