The opener for the CDBA was a good one on Fathers Day Weekend.  We analyzed the data and what we had learned from the May race in Bakersfield and applied it here and it worked very well.  On a beautiful Saturday we qualified for both Pro Eliminator (8sec bracket) with a 8.07et coming right off the trailer from the last race and in Super Eliminator (dial in bracket) with a 8.52 as the water condition got worse on this Saturday afternoon.  Again we analyzed the data from the QwikData 2 and applied it for Sunday morning.  We managed our way thru both Super Eliminator and Pro Eliminator elimination rounds and made our way to the final rounds in both classes averaging a 8.08et thru all the passes!
Super Eliminator Final Round we ran right on our number @ 8.053et with a .22 reaction time for the Win!  As we came in from the round the officials said we needed to head right back out for the Pro Eliminator Finals so we fueled in the lanes and changed the nitrous bottle out with a fresh one and back to the rope we went,  Knowing it was going to be a close race we added .050 more timer to the nitrous system to see if we could get closer to the 8 flat number.
Pro Eliminator final round we ran a 8.001et with a .170 reaction for the Win!!  Margin of victory was only .023 seconds – Very Close race as shown in the photo below.
Again thank you for your support!

Headed to the water!

Event: NJBA / CDBA co-sanctioned event at Lake Ming, Bakersfield CA
Date: May 18/19th 2013
Driver : Darin Moilanen
Boat : Green with Envy 317
Edelbrock Parts: Edelbrock Race Team, Edelbrock Nitrous, Edelbrock QwikData 2, Edelbrock Pro Victor 24 Deg. Heads, Edelbrock Victor 2R Tunnel Ram, Russel ProClassic II Hose

This was a chance for us to go out and shake the boat down and work any little bugs out that may be lingering after the changes over the winter in preparation for the CDBA race season, this was a co-sanctioned event that allowed us to test the boat out and get some points up on the competition as well.

Saturday we ran 7 passes and in between each of the passes we analyzed the data from the qwik data2 and made adjustments in the boat. After the adjustments on Sunday we ran 5 passes all in the 8.0x range – with an average ET of 8.057, although we did not win we did come away with the CDBA 8.0 bracket points lead going into the next race.

Stay Tuned for the Next Race is at Dexter Reservoir in Eugene Oregon on June 15th and 16th.
