Finally had a minute to check out more results (as I mentioned, we rarely know what’s going with the races real time so we kinda rely on you to help us out when you can…) and CONGRATULATIONS to long-time supporter Dragster Jeff Crider!
Here’s an update from Jeff:
Wow! where to start… I just won the 2015 March Meet. What a way to start the Heritage season off. No testing. My brother Chris and I put together an awesome car, with a whole new induction system on it.. Same Fauset Motor with a fresh Victory cylinder Heads valve job and guides.. Ken’s Fantastic Kern Transmission in it with that Cowboy rearend supplying the power to my outstanding M & H tires Thanks John Hashim. We unloaded on Tues. made 2 test hits on wed. both a little under the index of 8.60. Q1 was still too quick at 8.55. Q2 it got out there 150 ft and turned left. 9.00, good enough for the 29 spot in a 39 car field. Rnd 1 was against an awesome Drag Racing family The Bebee’s, Yes those Bebee’s. Big Mike at the wheel driving his first March Meet.. I dropped a .012 package on him to make it through to Sunday. Rnd 2 Battenberg goes RED we move on. 3d rnd on Sunday we had 3 time Famoso Super pro track Champ Steve Mattson Steve missed the tree by -.003 to end his March meet. we move on, 8.594 6 thou under the index.. In round 4 we took on Miguel Lomas 2014 NE2 champ. I finished 2nd last year. An EPIC Battle.. The 2014 champ was behind by .03 at the hit and broke out taking the stripe by too much..I went 8.63 on the binders.. Beating the Champ earned us a Bye to the Final. On the single it left good and 200 ft out it hunted the centerline… Not much data to gain there. Onto the final. In the final I swapped lanes and staged up with Bill Workman in the Vulcan car club entry.. Bill couldn’t wait for the tree and left way early I was right behind him.. A last minute plate change in the staging lanes let us run a near perfect 8.606 Thanks Krista Suydam. On our way to my 2nd March Meet Championship.. Its barely starting to sink in.. Thanks to everyone for your love and support..I’m a 2 time March Meet Champion…
See ya in the Lanes,
Dragster Jeff
Thanks for the update Jeff, CONGRATULATIONS!
