Racing Adventures: Saturday May 8

About me and my car!

So what's up everyone? Well let me tell you a little bit about me and this blog. My name is Miles Lankford. I am a drag racer. Now I'm no professional, but I love racing. I started this blog to talk about the nights I race, how things went, how I did, how the car did, etc.. So you probably want to know what kind of car I drive. Well it is a Richard Steven's dragster, powered by a 496 Big Block Chevy. I have one sponsor: Shell Rotella T. I bracket race, normally at Mobile Dragway. But I have been to other places. I have a competition drivers license good for Super Comp and ET. The fastest I have been so far is a 4.67 at 127 at a 600 ft. track. I would like to pursue racing as a career. I'm a junior at the University of South Alabama majoring in Special Education. Well that's a little about me and my car. If you have in questions, just leave a comment!

Saturday May 8

Well I didn't do so goos this time. In the first round of eliminations, the car never really hooked up. I had a 4.77 dial in and ran a 4.98. So I bought back in for round two. I ended up running the same guy, Johnny, I ran in the final last weekend. I lost, and not because me or the car did something, just because he did awesome. He cut a perfect .0000 light to my .021. He ran dead on his 5.65 dial in. I ran a 4.78, one off my 4.77. I just got beat! So the weekend didn't go as well as hoped, but I still had fun and thats all that matters. Still no pictures yet. I'm going to try and start taking some. Well until next time.
