Vegas Qualifying
Well, the Blackbird Racing and extended team have all worked hard, successfully wrestled our way through a horde of gremlins on both BlackbirdX and Team Underdawg Racing Drag Pak. Despite the many and varied issues, we are heading into eliminations tomorrow with two, still in the fight entrees.
Sadly, on BlackbirdX we had crank sensor issues, tried some different suspension setups and were trying hard to understand why it was all not working as it should, to then discover problems with our clutch management, that is likely to be at the center of our three spinning attempts to get down the track.
We haven’t given Alex Austin Laughlin much of a car to drive at this event, so far, but he has driven the wheels off what we did give him. In at 8th out of 8 wasn’t our qualifying plan, nonetheless, if we are right about some of what we discovered tonight, tomorrow will be a new and better day.
We did get the Team Underdawg well in the thick of it, Raymond Nash is as usual, killing the tree, so they will definitely be on the path, making progress to that Wally.
And stay tuned, we will get this Blackbird to fly again and there is no doubt, we have one heck of a pilot.
