Holeshot Dragbike Team: Vinst för Blancken, Pelle på andra plats!

söndag 12 juli 2009

Vinst för Blancken, Pelle på andra plats!

Det räckte inte hela vägen för Pelle. Blancken körde en kanontid och var en väl värdig vinnare på sina 8,43!
Stort grattis säger vi till Blancken Racing!

Tack Piteå Dragway för denna helg!

I kväll stannar vi kvar på banan och i morgon rullar vi mot Piteå havsbad. Vi tar en liten "minisemester" mellan tävlingarna i Piteå och Skellefteå.
Bloggen övergår en stund till en "semesterblogg" men till helgen är vi tillbaka i racingblogg-världen.

Grattis båda!

Kul att Blanken hittat tillbaka till storformen.
Sedan Pelles låga jämna tider det är ju det man oftast vinner tävlingar på . Imponerande!!!

Hoppas Källgren hinner klart till Skellefteå, njut av semmestern.

Dragracing for Dummies (ordlista med Dragracing termer, engelska uttryck används även i Sverige)

Burnout: spinning the rear tires in water to heat and clean them prior to a run for better traction. A burnout precedes every run.

Christmas Tree: Also called the Tree, it is the noticeable electronic starting device between the lanes on the starting line. It displays a calibrated-light countdown for each driver.

Clutch Lockup: The progression of clutch-disc engagement controlled by an air-timer management system.

Deep stage: to roll a few inches farther into the beams after staging, which causes the pre-stage lights to go out. In that position, a driver is closer to the finish line but dangerously close to a foul start.

Elapsed time: the time it takes a vehicle to travel from the starting line to the finish line. Also called e.t.

Eliminations: After qualifying, vehicles race two at a time, resulting in one winner from each pair. Winners continue in tournament-style competition until one remains.

Foul start: indicated by a red light on the Christmas Tree when a car has left the starting line before the green light, or starting signal.

Holeshot: when a driver reacts quicker to the Christmas Tree to win a race against an opponent with a quicker e.t.

Pre-stage: to position the front wheels about seven inches behind the starting line so the small yellow lights atop that driver’s side of the Christmas Tree are glowing. The next step is to stage and be ready to race.

Pro Tree: used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street, which feature heads-up competition. All three large amber lights on the Christmas Tree flash simultaneously, followed four-tenths of a second later by the green starting light.

Reaction time: the time it takes a driver to react to the green starting light on the Christmas Tree, measured in thousandths of a second. The reaction-time counter begins when the last amber light flashes on the Tree and stops when the vehicle clears the stage beam.

Sixty-foot time: the time it takes a vehicle to cover the first 60 feet of the racetrack. It is the most accurate measure of the launch from the starting line and in most cases determines how quick the rest of the run will be.

Speed trap: the final 66 feet to the finish line where speed is recorded.Stage: to position the front wheels right on the starting line so the small yellow lights below the pre-stage lights are glowing. Once both drivers are staged, the calibrated countdown (see Christmas Tree) may begin.

Turbocharger: an exhaust-driven intake air compressor (see supercharger).
