Well, things did work out. I was fortunate to get by Dave Barcelon. We both had .020 lights, but he broke out by .010 and I was good by .031 on the brakes.

Fletcher red lit to Steve Cozokos. I guess the prospect of a duck in the second round was too much for him. :) Now I have to race Steve. He's a very good driver and he's on a roll right now. I have my work cut out for me, but at least I have a chance.

Interesting pairing for 2nd round. Dad against son. McClanahans.
Which one has the faster car? Dad might be in trouble on the tree. Son has been real sharp lately. Damn, what are the dials going to be? I can't wait.

Re: Live From The Northwest Nationals
 

Man, that was the closest race I've had in a long time! I was thinking about dumping him as it looked like he might go around me, then I thought it might be pretty close and decided to run it out. Glad I chose the latter. Nice race, Steve!

Re: Live From The Northwest Nationals
 

MOV.0001 or .0002?

Re: Live From The Northwest Nationals
 

It wasn't quite that close. The MOV was "only" .0014. I was .019 and .008 over and Steve was .026 and .002 over.

BTW, happy birthday, old man! :D

Sorry, but I left after the 4th round. There should be 2 or 3 shots of Steve's car in the Woodburn thread.

Re: Live From The Northwest Nationals
 

Excellent photos and thanks for posting. I can't help but notice the lack of spectators though. Was it just because the class that was being run (stock/SS) or has this event lost it's popularity with the fans?

For about 10 years, I had 10 -25 top row grandstand seats next to the tower but quit going due to the dangerous conditions of the stands. I saw several people hurt when stairs gave way or seats collapsed. I went right to management one year and they did nothing so I refused to return. The same grandstand was there for at least another 3 or 4 years. It was also a one lane track for most of the Pro classes and car count was marginal, although they would at least fill the fields. Times have changed but has anything improved.
