This past weekend we attended the IHRA Canadian National at Toronto Motorsports Park. We had made some changes to our ignition system in hopes of curing our nitrous backfire problem. Our first qualifying run resulted in the same ignition problem as before. With a backfire out the headers and a bad misfire at half track it slowed us down to a very slow 7.99. The only thing left to change was the ignition box. With no spare in the trailer we had to rely on our fellow racers to help us out. A special thanks goes out to Scott Mackie of the AC Delco race team who loaned us his spare ignition box.

We had plenty of time to make the change as our second qualifying session was rained out. That left us waiting until Saturday evening to make our last qualifying run and see if our changes worked. As soon as the car left the starting line without a backfire we knew we had solved our problem. The car ran a much quicker 7.54 and put us in the number 26 spot. We then moved into first round of eliminations Sunday morning. With much better air and track conditions we knew the car would be faster but how much faster was the question. We dialed in a 7.51 anticipating a quicker pass but the car picked up much more going a 7.47. That was way to fast and ended our weekend. Although disappointed with our first round lose we are encouraged by the the cars performance on the last run. It seems that we have the problem figured out after many weeks of hard work. We are now preparing for the IHRA Northern Nationals in Martin, MI in two weeks. We have done well there over the past two years and are looking forward to returning to our successful form at that event.
