Nova 2015 Summer Race Season Update September 30, 2015 / January 25, 2016 by John Heard I've been a bit slow updating the blog here, not only has business been quite busy, but we've also been racing quite a bit as well. Probably time to get caught up a bit... July 10th, we raced Ozark Raceway Park's Fly Your Flag Shootout in Drag Radial and runnered up against our friend Tony Phillips, Stanley & Goose Newbury. The transmission started flare shifting much worse at this race, but we ran it anyway banging the car off the rev limiter, when we made it to the final I decided to throw the kitchen sink at it so we could at least go down swinging. To my surprise, we got close, the Nova went a 4.8459@149.7 shutting the nitrous off and bouncing off the rev limiter at the shift bad and smoking the transmission, well kinda bad haha - Tony got it done with a 4.826 to take the win. Regardless of the transmission carnage, we had a great time and always love racing with the T&S Team. I had to wonder afterwards what that pass might have been had the trans been in good shape, it probably would have knocked the tire off it I suppose. Read more »
