Chris had another good year in 2019.
He qualified #3 at the gators @ .982 under. It was the quickest carb car on the list. Randi Lyn was 2nd quickest, and won the race !

Also won the D/SA class, over Randi Lyn. There's no doubt about it, they're the top Pontiac Stockers in the country, today. They go to a lot of big races. They go rounds. And they occasionally win a big one.

How 'bout this for a way to finish up the season. At the Pomona finals race, he was #1 qualifier @ 1.174 under !

I don't understand all about how the hp factoring system works. But, from what little I've read, you don't wanna have many 1 sec under runs, in a certain time period. So, I assume that's why Chris(and LOTS of others) was so slow on so many Q-lists this year. I suppose that's why the 330hp engine got 5hp removed, instead of them adding some.
It seems that some wanna go fast & set records, and some just wanna keep their combo competitive. I suppose it's been that way for a long time.
