A couple of weeks ago the converter locked up in the Deuce, so I have spent the last two Sundays sorting things out with a new one. At Newport yesterday, the car did great, running a couple of 7.01s and a 7.031 on a 7.0 dial, and on the last pass, I even surprised myself with a .502RT on a .500 tree.

Though hot and humid out, the Deuce ran flawlessly again, taking top honors in the Pro class. Ran a 6.964 on a 6.95 dial in the finals.

Hopefully on the way to the Eastern Iowa Nova show this weekend we can stop by Eddyville and see how she does there.

Through the years Rob’s youngest son Drew often attends races with us, including the SCR, helping load and unload, check air pressure, etc. Once we got the JRs he would go and help with them. Well, Sunday he decided to try his hand at driving. We thought we were going just to get some seat time, but ended up doing a best of three match race with another JR. Drew lost the first round, but came back to take the next two.

This is Drew with his slip from the final round with a .545 RT. Says he is ready for his buddy Howie. LOL

Not for sure when we would find the time to get that serious, as we are knee deep in baseball with a little basketball mixed in.
