40th Annual Pepsi Nightfire Nationals
It's been quite a weekend here in Boise, Idaho! 19 Nitro Nostalgia Funny Cars showed up for a 16 car field. Racers from as far away as New York, Texas, Indianna, and of course Edmonton.
We were last car up for qualifying on Friday night and after a 2 hour wait in the staging lanes, due to an oil down, the track changed quite a bit. Had a crazy, wild burn out as the car was over powered for the track conditions. Tim lifted at about 300 ft.
Round 2 of qualifying on Saturday gave us our best E.T. of the weekend with a 6.015 @ 236.90 mph and positioned us in the #6 spot for eliminations.
First round eliminations Sunday afternoon, up against Steven Densham in Teacher's Pet. Lost on a hole shot with a 6.074 @ 237.21 mph to their 6.072 @ 221.89
Thanks to the New family, owner's of the track for putting on a great show!
As well, we very proud Angie, she did a great job singing the Canadian and US National Anthems at the event!

A Retrospective Look
A video from the past has been added to the 2011 video gallery.
It’s from 2008 when Tim lost his Top Fuel virginity with the Paton Top Fuel Dragster. Tim, along with local peanut gallery Cal Tebb, Norm Kolwich, and Ed Landry went to San Antonio, TX in April 2008 for the IHRA national event to support Paton Racing. Following that event, Tim received his orientation and made his first two test passes in Top Fuel.
His first pass was a launch only, and the second was about a half-track run.
The video is 20 minutes in length. The first part is mainly pit action with Tim learning the ropes and the team getting the dragster ready. The actual test passes start about 13 minutes into the video.
Enjoy.

Finals
What a race.
We went up against Mark Henteges driving the Bucky Austin tuned Plymouth Arrow. We knew Mark had a strong car, as he ran a 5.80 in qualifying. Our work was cut out for us.
I knew the only way I could win was to cut a great light and that is what we did. I had a .048 to his .136 giving us almost a tenth of a lead. Mark ran a 5.77 to our 5.80 giving us about .0400 to gain a win.
This has to be one of the sweetest wins ever.
We are off until mid October for the race in Bakersfield.
Tim.
