MHDRA Top Alcohol Shootout in Medicine Hat, Alberta
Qualifying Round #1-
6.05 @ 236 miles per hour
A good solid run down the track. We were first pair out, so we had to take it a little easy.
Qualifying Round #2-
Aborted Run
We got afer the tune up a little bit and paid the price. The car shook and smoked the tires at the hit.
Eliminations Round #1-
6.02 @ 235 miles per hour
First round win against Don St. Arnaud. Another solid pass down the right lane.
Eliminations Round #2-
Aborted Run
We lost lane choice and we were stuck in the left lane. John Evanchuk was in the other lane and had trouble starting his
car. He did get it started and pulled up beside us. That's when the tire shake\smoke bug bit us again and Evanchuk took
the win.

Testing Round #1-
6.59 @ 157 miles per hour
Troy's first run of the year and the car leaves nice and hard. A planned half-track pass.
Testing Round #2-
6.30 @ 183 miles per hour
Troy's second run of the year. Again the car leaves nice and drifts a little left. Troy shuts it off because
of a leaky valve cover.

5.81 @ 243 miles per hour
Nathan lines up against Jeff Ashewell, whose car stalls before staging. Nathan singles to the team best ET and
MPH and are currently in the #2 qualifying spot.
Qualifying Round #2-
No Time
Nathan stages and brings up the RPM but then the connecting rods let go before he can put it in stage.
Eliminations Round #1-
7.50 @ 122 miles per hour
The team just finished putting the manifold onto the new block and the glue had not yet dried. When the rpm came up to
about 9000, it threw the gasket and glue out of the back of the manifold and oil got on the tire. This sent Nathan towards
the center line and he had to abort the run.
