Sunday was the rain day makeup for the Ford Classic a Mason Dixon. Pam and I join the Thunderbird group to have some fun. This was Pam’s first time in racing competition. She drove Sherman’s 03 Marauder beater. The dial-in for her was 15.50, but this was a bone stock car. The weather was in the high eighties and conditions were great on the track. Sherman also brought his race Marauder, but ran a red light on the first round. Sherman has run a red 7 out of 9 attempts in the last two times at Mason Dixon. He has not found a good reaction time with the new T/C converter. On the other hand Chris (blown38) has been running pretty good with his S/C T-Bird. We have run together for the last couple of years and he seems to find a way to send me home. Today was no exception. In the third round he bet me by .06 seconds. Although I ran a great light I gave him too much on the tree. A 1.92 bulb to a 092. Chris continued on to take second place in the Cougar class. Pam lost in the first round but gave them hell. Her best reaction time was .203, you go girl. Next on the schedule is Ford Fever on October at MIR. Hope to see some of you CAMERS next month.
Chris Vining (Blown38) also ran at Marauderville last month

I finished the race with a 12.73 dail on a 12.75 but could not make up the differance on the tree
