Default Pro ET Track Champion!

I finally did it. I had the championship sewn up after I won third round. Then I put a period on it by winning the race. For the last four race weekends in a row I went to the final round and won three of them. Not to shabby for my first year back after laying out for three years.

I need to buy a lotto ticket though for the way my Saturday night luck has been going.

And on top of that the rear end was getting increasingly noisey last night so I pulled it apart this morning to find ten broken ring gear teeth. I'm amazed it made it through the night as it started getting noisey after the second time run. I still put seven more passes on it after that. By the final round I'm hoping it will stay together for just one more pass. lol

Here is a pic.

Default ring gear

Is that from an 8 3/4? Man if that is what a noisy rear looks like I would hate to see a catastrophic failure.

Good job on the season. We can all rejoice on all Mopar success.

What championship are you referring too? NHRA Southeast division 2?

Thanks All.

I'm the Orlando Speed World track champion. Technically since they combine Street and Pro ET together in one class I'm the Sportsman Track Champion. I get to race in the "Race of Champions" at the Division 2 finals in October at South Georgia Motorsports Park along with the regular division race.

Yes the ring gear is out of an 8 3/4. I found a Pro set from Precision Gear and got it today. So I'll be ready to do battle again soon.

Yep, I would be getting a Lotto ticket as it looks like the earth, moon, sun, and stars are all aligned in your favor.
Congratulations on all the final round appearances.

Default A spool with that 8 3/4

Do you use any kind of spool with your rear?

I will be targeting the same class with my Duster next year in Division 5.

Would be a blast to have the Dusters meet down the road sometime.

Will you be defending next year? I attached a couple pics of my Pars.

Yes, I use a Strange spool and the MP aluminum carrier. I'm putting in a 9310 pro gear this time.

And yes I hope to return next year, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
