DI DRIVER BLOG: Megan Meyer|

Our 2 Randy Meyer Racing Meridian Booze Dragsters headed west for our start NHRA Winternationals in Pomona to kick off the 2022 race season. Like I said in terminal month's web log post, we don't typically begin our season until the Gatornationals, merely with our squad expanding, we entered the race with drivers Pecker Litton and Alan Bradshaw. Our full-fourth dimension crew guy, Dalton, along with Danny Pomponio, who helps out our team occasionally, and myself made the 24-hr drive from Kansas Urban center to Phoenix at the beginning of February to test both dragsters before we hit the runway at Pomona. This was our first time at Wild Equus caballus Pass and it was a cute track with lots of mountains and scenery. Bill Litton took his first shot at the car on Sunday, and I got to hop back in my Copeland-congenital dragster on Monday. We had great progress at Phoenix and felt very pleased with the testing results although we had to telephone call it quits considering the track was almost too skillful to race on and nobody could get from A-to-B without spinning the tires.

Our adjacent terminate was Pomona, which I've but been to one time before when nosotros took on the Western Swing to win the 2003 2016 blog 2_MM 1 national championship. It was some other beautiful rail and we started out on a actually expert note, but couldn't seem to follow it up as the weekend went on. Alan's outset pass in my dragster was a v.26 et at 274 mph – the quickest and fastest pass for that car, an amazing run that put usa sixth in qualifying. Non where we wanted to be. We struggled with Bill's car (the dragster that my father retired from) all weekend and he started out qualifying running only a five.44 et, which was non what nosotros expected after what we saw at Phoenix. We had no improvements later on Q1, and were bumped down to 8th and 15th going into round ane. This is where things got interesting – Bill lost on a holeshot and Alan won by coasting to the finish line because the fuel line shook off. This acquired a lot of damage and we had to tear down and supplant four sleeves on Sabbatum night, but nosotros were fortunate to have one Randy Meyer Racing dragster competing on race twenty-four hours.

Unfortunately, we had an upset loss in 2nd round of eliminations against the number 1 qualifier. Once more, we had massive tire milk shake, which resulted in more damage than we idea. Once nosotros got home, nosotros tore down both dragsters and have been inspecting every detail and every weld on the car to make sure the frame is intact and nothing is out of place. We did accept some damage to the motor mounts and the Racepak Pro iii wires; thankfully the guys at Racepak accept taken smashing care of our squad and we have put make-new wires back on.

Some other thing that has been taking place in the few weeks we have between Pomona and Gainesville is the transition to blog4_sneak begin my full-time career in Top Booze Dragster. This will exist the first time I become to race a full schedule of NHRA National and Regional events all across the States, and like I've said earlier, it's a dream come truthful.
