Jim Denaro - Meeting Report
Still
feeling
the affects of the Queensland trip,
I was struggling to get enthused about racing,
but the way the
Track
Championship
is you can’t afford to miss a round, so here we are at
the local season opener.
We had our first qualifier at 10:52 am:
The
car ran sweet with a best ever 60ft and running through
for a 9.835
@ 134.12. On the return road we were given my broken
drive belt for the oil pump, when we got back and
checked the data it showed that it happened after the
finish line luckily. I went for a drive to get a new
belt but couldn’t find one,
we got back to the track and borrowed a smaller spare.
(Thank you Timic Hot Rod Supplies)
I missed the fact that it had thrown the
alternator belt so we would have to run without for the
rest of the day.
Qualifier
No
2 was at 12:56 pm and another PB
to the 60ft going 1.347 and ran 9.805 @ 134.46. For the
third run I switched lanes and the
60'
wasn’t as quick but it ran 9.791 @ 136.62. Maybe I
should run without an alternator. That was it for the
day I will bring new belts out in the morning.
