LIVE from Numidia Combo in the Hills $10K!
 

6:00 PM, my 2nd test n' tune run, 64.6 F, 37%, dismal 28.74 Baro 1918' DA, 'course the track is about 990' above sea level.

Rolled in a little before 5PM, had our own entrance gate. Zane greeted us, and directed us to pit with the rest of the IHRA cars down in Catawissa. ;-) j/k! Just worked out that a lot of cliques happened to park together. Facility looks good -- nice to see it again, as I used to bracket race here as a kid.

In the lanes now for Gamblers time trial.

Is any body covering the elimnations on the intert net, like drag race central ?

!Biondo .000 1st hit in some rent-a-ride.
1st Rnd is in the books. Had 2-3 raindrops, touchup the track, and 2nd Rnd has been called to the lanes.

Pete's driving Billy Leber's D/SA Camaro. He backed up the .000 with another .000 on the bye. We ended up racing 2nd rnd. I'm .002 to his -.005 red, both of us heading dead-on with low change! YIKES!

Down to 9 cars, Duck Tape on the bye. Didn't see everybody, but those left included me, Faul, Nagy, Worner, Morehead, Martel, sorry, forget who else.

Started to sprinkle when I took the bye. Saw one big flash of lightning when I was coming back around to the pits. Rain's picking up a little... We're at 5 cars.

Rained out for the night. See you in the morning!

It was a small system, but it came down in sheets briefly (that would be while I was unhooking the trailer!) LOL and we saw some pretty spectacular lightning.

The Turismo made 4 runs in a row to 1000' 13.01, then a 13.00 on the bye. Trying to remember WHY I've had this thing for sale?! :)

Got to meet Don Kennedy, and saw a lot of friends from way back. Pits are pretty full on the right side of the track, although I think we only had 37 in the Gamblers race. Many were happy to test n' tune then pack it up for the night. Trailers were still coming in when we were leaving.

Q1 60.2 F, 56%, 28.82, 1622' DA
Q2 66.3 F, 48%, 28.80, 2062' DA

First run, shortshift high gear, goes 13.021 to 1000', then back to the trusty 13.01 on the second pass. -.001 red taking an extra bump, and .030 in 'race mode'.

Had a little downtime toward the end of Q1, but we're squared away and rollin' again. In eliminations, Stk and SS will run separate the 1st 3 rnds.

Sun peaks in and out, breeze is up and down. Not sure if it's cold or warm!
