Coolest race of the year in stock!

I liked this first round matchup at the D3 race in Michigan this past weekend:

Richard Rodgers, Dearborn Heights MI, in a 2010 Cobra Jet AA/SA qualified number 5 with a 9.800 on the 10.60 index versus the number 35 qualifier Jack Larsen, Cropsey IL, in a 1972 Comet V/S (that's right, a six-cylinder stick car) with a 14.789 on the 15.25 index. Rodgers won with a 171 light and ran a 9.906 on a 9.80 dial in. Does anyone know what Larsen did?

In any event, what's your opinion? If your say Wenzel versus Rampy at Norwalk, that's OK too

Ed Fernandez, first round at Norwalk.

Ed Fernandez, Old Bridge NJ, '77 Gremlin, T/SA, Left lane, (0.085) 13.00 13.904 0.904, def. Don

1st round Division race at Lebanon Valley, July 4, 2010.

Jim Boudreau B/SA vs Joe DeMarzo H/SA and his new driver.

Jim dials 10.37 and DeMarzo's guy dials 11.48,

Jim has a .010 light to Joe's guy who goes .011

Jim goes 10.368 breaking out to DeMarzo's guys 11.480.

One hell of a race and both were flat out, b*lls to wall and no brakes.

Lady luck won that round.

These are the correct numbers.They originally had me dialed 13.00.Good thing I check the boards before the run.Thank you for the mention.

So the Mustangs are 1-1 against 6-cylinders. Let's hope Mark Y gets to run one of those with his Mustang-hey it would be Mustang versus Mustang and blower (ok turbo) versus blower, but 4 versus 8. That would be cool too!

Larsen was way off the dial for some reason, ran like a 15.53...

Great thread Dave, I agree with you on your race, but I chose Ed's because he did win. I kinda like the "underdog" (the name on Jack's car).
