What a difference a week makes

From low e.t. and a new track record at 5.29, three consecutive runs of over 270 mph and an asbolutely dominating event win at the NHRA Division Six LODRS event at Mission Raceway, Shawn Cowie and company appeared at Topeka's Heartland Park Raceway and struggled - along with everyone else in the field - under vastly different conditions last weekend.

Shawn qualified in the middle of the field (#8) with a pair of 5.4-second passes, and improved to an event best (for him) 5.39 - 267 in a close second round loss to eventual runner-up Tom Conway. While the team adjusted as well as anyone in the blown alcohol brigade to the change in atmospheric conditions from Mission - from 1000 - 1500 feet of corrected altitude to 3500 - 4000 feet at Topeka, and track temperatures of nearly 130 degrees, they were simply outmatched against a veteran racer and A/Fuel expert like Tom Conway. Expect the Mundie's Towing group to bounce back strong at Spokane and Seattle in the next few weeks.
