Team CANIDAE moves on to final round with a 2.34 victory over Cold Water kids 2.58. Whipple will go up against John Cazlow in the final as his 2.41 was enough to cover Dennis Rieck and the Hammer Down car. |

Cars all serviced, we'll do a quick fire up to make sure Carl didn't put the bearing in upside down. Carne asada on the barby, good times, good friends, great track. We look forward to race day tomorrow. Good night. |

The candles were lit and off they went. The CANIDAE T/F dragster hiked the front end at the bite of the throttle and didn't set it down until way after the finish line. Whipple commented he thought he was headed for the moon! 2.30 seconds to click the lights off - not with the rear tires but the wheely bar. Oh what a pass!! |

Back at the pits the team prepares the car for final qualifying pass around 6:30 tonight. Daran has the clutch adjusted as Whipple stares at the computer and Amos twists some knobs. Word on the street is the knobs they're turning are gonna step her up or rip off every paddle of the goodyears! |

We have been battling the wind all morning trying to keep things clean. I think we lost. We have fired up the car, she sounds great and we look forward to our first pass of the day. |

Yes we stepped it up. New ET track record 2.30, time slip says at 179 mph. We headed back to check the computer for ground speed. We know we stepped up our mph game but aren't quite sure that much. Stay tuned! |

A couple of minor tweaks here and there and we are all ready for qualifying pass #2. Wind has died down, and temperature has picked up. We hope to report back an improvement on our earlier pass. |

Team CANIDAE came out with a conservative first pass of 2.34 seconds at 155 mph. The team is very happy with low first round and will be hard at work to turn it up tonight. |

It's a gorgeous Friday morning as Team CANIDAE is nestled in the beautiful farm land of Dome Valley just north of Yuma, AZ. We all got to meet track owner Ernesto and his two sons who welcomed us with open arms. Ernesto was nice enough to build this beautiful facility on his farm land right next to his house! They have expanded the facility and added additional pit parking to fulfill the needs of larger events. Ernesto has also teamed up with the NSDA to put this race on for the sand drag community. Thank you Ernesto and NSDA for giving us a place to race!!! Thank you also to all the racers who showed up to have some fun. Stay tuned as we get ready to make our first qualifying pass around 2:00-3:00 today. The track looks fast and we expect some good numbers. |
