lots of rain outs this year, but we finally got a day at the track in.
ryan lost our 1st race. he cut a .535 light & ran a 7.716 on a 7.710 dial. that should win you a race, but our competitor cut .516 & ran a 6.34 on a 6.32 dial in. the margin of victory was in the 1/10,000th of a sec...

pulled the rear wheels off CUDA today to mount my 2 new MT slicks. when i got back from the tire shop i noticed a few drops of oil under my left rear alxe. i gave the axle a tug & it moved out about 2" i checked the right side & i had excessive play too. well i'm supposed to race on sunday...
OH BOY! going to play sunday. Luskville Dragway opened this weekend for test & tune before our racing starts next weekend. CUDA is ready to go other than a bath tomorrow morning. can't wait. burnig rubber & race fuel, what a smell.:)

after a great life to the age of 93 my dad Bill Whelan Sr. passed away this morning quietly at home with family. he got me started in the suspension business when i was 17, which 35 tears later allows me to enjoy a mopar & race hobby.
Thanks Dad:bravo:

hey bums. what's up. guilty of not being around much this winter, but spring is just about here & attention to CUDA & drag racing (not drag queens) is on my mind.
no plans for cuda mod's. but if someone wanted to buy it i think i'd sell for the right price. i've got my eye on a couple of...

so after a full season of racing, 185 passes down the track, a rained out last day, 3 missed races due to breakdowns & vacation, we...
kevin (blown68) & i met up at the track on saturday for a little test & tune. a young man was video taping & said he would add our passes to his video. 1st off there was no traction. lots of wheel spin. my 60 footers were off 2.5 to 3 tenth off, not to mention I didn't have on my slicks either...
Luskville dragway is the spot again & ryan & i will be there hammering on CUDA hoping get deep into the racing rounds again. with a great showing in the last 2 "show me the money" tour events i know we've built a tough reputation & everyone will be gunning for us. so. we'll keep a calm level...
