Pics from Sunday. Heading to Oklahoma again.

**regan wilson** · 03-28-2022, 08:47 AM

Well I was a second round loser in Oklahoma. Saturday I made some really good hits. I was 10.896 and 10.899 on my last two time trials. Sunday morning first round it spun at the hit and got really loose coming off the throttle stop. It was bad enough I went 10.97 but I got lucky and my friend Wendell gave the stripe to me by .004. He should have won that round. Second round I thought the track would come back in since it warmed up. I was wrong and went 10.94 scrubbing a little bit at the finish line. My opponent Jay Bunce took the stripe by .01. There were a few Ducks there but I didn't draw one. At the end of the day my friend Wendell came out ahead in the Jegs Allstar points. He gets to go to Indy and race the Allstars like I did in 08 at the Chicago track. We have the Houston Divisional in two weeks. I'll be getting ready for that over the next week. Maybe I can do a little better there.

I'm in Baytown at Houston Raceway Park. This will be our last NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional here before the track closes. If anyone wants to watch online it will be on NHRAracer.TV. In two weeks we will be back here for the last National Event here. It's sad because as big as Texas is we are running out of race tracks. Thanks for asking Liz.

It is sad. Tracks keep getting shut down for suburban growth or warehousing districts.
I remember when they did SuperChevy shows @ Baytown. We went to a few of them as well as race events.

**mongocanfly** · 04-07-2022, 10:23 PM

I'll try to watch...!

**regan wilson** · 04-11-2022, 09:01 AM

Well I screwed up second round. I haven't been good on the tree the last two races. Coming off of two .020's and one .022 light I rolled .008 out of the delay box shooting for a .010 to .012. I was fighting the sixty foot also. I have been able to predict loss of 60 ft ET morning to afternoon but not this past weekend. If I had been perfect on the tree my opponent would have been hard to beat. My 60 ft fell of 5 hun more second round. I should have been 10.87 to .88 on this pass with room to scrub ET at the finish line.

Hinesite is 20/20

**regan wilson** · 05-05-2022, 07:19 AM

I haven't posted in awhile because I'm dealing with internet issues or the lack of.
Two weeks ago at the Houston National Event I had a couple of good time trials on Friday. First pass I was .001 on the tree and 10.94. Second pass I was .007 on the tree and 10.906. I felt pretty good going into first round Saturday morning. Unfortunately I slipped to a .029 reaction time first round. The young lady I was racing had the best package of the round with a .005 light and 10.907. I was toast and couldn't even be mad about it LOL. I'm currently getting ready for our Double Divisional at the Texas Motorplex on May 19th.

***Liz*** · 05-05-2022, 11:10 AM

Was thinking about you this weekend. My (our) girls went to the 4 lane at zmax Sat and Sun to watch J's friend Bill run. Great time

I had a few friends at that race. All but one went out first round in Super Street. My friend Tony Jones went to third or fourth round. He drives a really nice yellow 67 Camaro.

**regan wilson** · 05-24-2022, 06:25 PM

Well I had my third and fourth race this past weekend at the Tx Motorplex in Ennis, Tx. I arrived on Wednesday morning and attempted to run the test session. I made one pass and everything seemed ok. I went up to make another pass and had to shut it off about 300ft out. I can't believe this tank rolled all the way to the first turnout lol. I was by myself with no help at the time. So I'm sitting there wondering what the hell is wrong. I decide to fire it up. It wasn't making any noise for say. So I drove back to the trailer. It sounded ok idling but sounded like crap revving it. I pulled the right valve cover first looking at valve springs and such. Just the normal WTH is going on routine.
I didn't really see anything so I started checking valve lash on that side. When I got to the #4 intake rocker it just flopped up. There was no pushrod to be found. Ol' Ken was getting ready to head out to come to the track. I had to tell him (Wait for me! I can't find my pushrod). I pulled the drivers side valve cover and found the #4 intake pushrod on the other bank next the #3 pushrod. I got it fixed but ran out of time to make another pass.

**regan wilson** · 05-24-2022, 06:33 PM

I made it to the third round of the first race but lost by giving up the stripe unintentionally. We got one time run on Saturday and were supposed to get two. They changed the schedule due to incoming weather. We ran first round of the second race around 2pm Saturday. I screwed that one up bad. I flinched and was .042 on the red side. We may be in Tulsa, Ok in a few weeks I just don't know right now. Fuel prices are killing all of us.

I was there & was frustrated for you on that one..... I watched them finish the round & when I made it over to your trailer you were rolling out.

The weather definitely screwed everyone schedule wise. I'm not sure if it even rained out there @ all (it didn't in Dallas).

BTW.... That staging pic was awesome until that lady walked into it

**mongocanfly** · 05-24-2022, 06:49 PM

Sounds like my luck...lawn mower started running ruff...like bad ruff.. pulled valve cover..one bent pushrod and the other broke,
These fuel prices are sure crazy.. sure puts a damper on extra curricular activities

When a lawnmower breaks. That’s just a good excuse for me not to mow. Lol

Dang man I thought about you possibly being there. The Boss told me to load up and outrun the storm. I wish I had known you were there. Those are good pics too. Thanks

SCOTI · 05-24-2022, 09:25 PM

No worries. Figured that was the exact plan (get out & beat the storm).

**regan wilson** · 06-08-2022, 08:22 AM

Well it's Tulsa time again. I'll be there this weekend for my 5th Divisional of the year. I have referred to it as "The Track That Hates Me". Maybe it will be nice to me this time. I didn't do too bad there last year. And everything came home in one piece.

Perseverance pays off. Hopefully you're treated right because of that!
