I made good use of the car this weekend past at PSMCDR 2023!!

I took 15 trips down the drag strip, some faster than others :-)

Casey Marks, Diego Rosenberg Several of the MSU Project W31 “students” came to visit and one brought a 1968 Firebird 400 auto and we raced several times. (Foreshadowing) we were matched perfectly.

Later I was paired up with Chris Smetana’s 1968 Firebird 400 auto and we had a perfect shootout.

I will post the three time slips and those of you that know about drag racing will appreciate the hard fought battle. I won race #1, and Chris won #2 and #3. I wanted to win so bad but reaction time was my issue.

I reached a new personal best ET 14.15, and mph 98!!

My wife and Mom came to make sure Team Weaver racing was well represented.

I saw so many friends!!! And made new friends!!

I even had the opportunity to visit Bill Porterfield he is part of MSU Project W31 not as a student but he was an Olds Engineer from 1967 to 1999?

Since I turned 40 and made the life decision to get involved in my passion/hobby I have had so many incredible experiences… such as Bill Porterfield watching me drag race and checking on me each round….. he even found a loose nut on my steering rag joint…. We barely skimmed the surface of his decades of automotive experience, ZL1’s, Dick Harrell, Mid Engine cars, 200mph cars, I won’t forget this visit ever!!
