What an exciting weekend
this was here at Hot-lanta! Track temp at 4:10 on Saturday was 138
degrees!
First
and foremost, we want to thank our sponsor and very good friend Super Nate of Super
V Cycles! Not only did he build us
a motor that is a true contender, but he also was our crew chief for the
weekend and we managed to squeak out another Number 1 qualifier in SEP
(two races in a row!) AND he helped get us to the final round in
SEP!!!! Yes, that’s right – we
were runner up in SEP at the Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson Southern
Nationals!
In
ET, Chip came close to having a double #1 qualifying finish on Saturday
after a .007 put him in the #2 spot in the field of 68 bikes competing in
the class.
In
our first round of afternoon eliminations on Sunday, we ran fast but not
TOO fast and was able to get the win light with a break out at
11.354. Okay, yes, that was too
fast, but it was less of a breakout than our opponent. Chip dialed it in for the semi-final
round and ran an 11.501 !!!! What an awesome run that was!!! Greg Best ran an 11.506 for that round
and we met up at the finals. Chip
felt he was on the very same run and unfortunately broke out (he had no idea
he gained 500 hundredths of a second on the first 60 feet) with an
11.450.
We’re very proud of Chip
on this very special race day!!
