Monday, June 1st, 2009Em updated you on how we finally got our Boise bugs nailed and ran better in Bremerton (but not quite well enough to get a win light…). I thought I’d tell you how we did that. It’s really a testament to what good friends we have, and I love to talk about them.
We had several [...]
PNSCA in Bremerton
Saturday, May 30th, 2009Fun fact: In the summer I like to pretend like I don’t have any responsibilities. It’s not a great excuse for my lacking of blogging, but it’s all I’ve got. But never fear – EMDUB is here!
Two weeks ago Chris and I packed up and headed to Bremerton with high hopes for our first Pacific [...]
Speedbumps in Boise
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Our first race of the year was in Boise, a few weeks ago, on the first weekend in May. I apologize for the long delay in posting, but things have been a little crazy.
Not only was Boise our first race of the year, it was our first entry into a major NHRA Divisional race, [...]
While We’re At It
Sunday, March 1st, 2009I promised an update on the engine, and you’ll get one. On Tuesday we’re taking it to the dyno, and you’ll get a full report and pictures after that. But I’ve been working hard on the car, and Em’s all over me for a blog update in the mean time, so here you go.
Perhaps the [...]
Rain Nationals
Sunday, February 15th, 2009Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Or not…
Chris and I had been eagerly waiting the kickoff to the 2009 racing season. The off-season work on the car has kept Chris (and Bob) pretty busy these past couple of months, but nothing gets the blood pumping like hearing those engines run. Chris and I had planned [...]
Engine Work
Saturday, January 10th, 2009As I noted in the last post (here), we managed to get the engine out of the car and over to the home/shop of our wonderful engine builder Bob Johnson. Bob had the thing torn apart within something like an hour, or at least it seemed that way. The guy is amazing. And given [...]
Winter Work Begins
Sunday, January 4th, 2009Now that the holidays are behind us, it’s time to start thinking about the next season of racing. But there’s a lot of work to do before we get there. It’s time to get the hands dirty again!
We put something like 80 passes on the engine this year, and it already had a [...]
PNSCA Banquet
Sunday, December 7th, 2008Last night the Pacific Northwest Super Comp Association had its end of the year banquet. Like any such event, it was a great chance for all the racers to get together, celebrate the champions, reminisce about the past year, generally wish it wasn’t cold and rainy outside. Unfortunately, Emily couldn’t make it, with too much [...]
Now It’s My Turn
Saturday, November 1st, 2008After a year of watching, wrenching, and worrying, it seemed only fair that I, Chris, get a chance to experience this whole driving thing. And it certainly couldn’t hurt for me to know in more detail what it was all about when it comes to tuning or setting up the car.
I have been a fan [...]
Gotta Love Those Win Lights!
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Well, it’s nearing the end of the season for drag racing and Chris and I knew we had to get one last race in before the rainy season hit. The Pacific Northwest Super Comp Association was having their last two races at the Woodburn Fall Classic in Woodburn, OR and it seemed like a perfect [...]
