Overall i had an awesome weekend. Saturday sucked as I spent all day working bugs out of the boat and never made a full pass down the track. We finally got the boat straightened out in time for my first run in the 9.0 bracket where i lifted at the lights to run a 9.01 et.
Mike Miller drove by me like i was tied to the starters barge in UBFJ so i was trailered the first round.
I then spent the rest of the day making safety passes and trying hardware changes. Boat is running real wet and there's lots of room for improvement before next march.
Thanks to HBJet and my family for all the help- i couldnt have done it without you guys. And thanks to everyone who stopped by the pit and said hello.
What a fun weekend. Cyclone did a great job with the boat this weekend on its first trip out with the new setup.
Round One in the 9 second bracket Mike ran a 9.01 for the win.

Round Two we had CS19, and in the staging lanes we almost had the pilot episode for "Pinks - The Drag Boat Series" nialed out but decided to settle with some long necks. This was a great run, and CS19 took the win with less then two hundredths of a second difference at the finish line.

Next year should be a good season for the 999 boat. Looking forward to it.

Great job out there Mike + Randy, you guys did a great job with the new boat and its a runner!
Bring it to Firebird for TE, Im sure you can run the number with some small adjustments.
As far as the difference in our bracket pairing, my math shows .233, you have to add your reaction time to your et.
bp - Did you beat the #313 Dual Jet TFJ in the 10 Second Finals or, did he 'Break Out'?
jak, no he didn't break out, he actually ran a 10.01. i just kept the nose a couple feet ahead of him after getting a head start on every other pass, junior started hopping around mid track, so at about half track, i kept waiting for that, but it never happened. he just took it a little easier, and it made a smooth pass, albeit slow for a blown alky capsule boat. junior said he couldn't see me from inside, so wasn't much more he could do.
