reading the list of people who are NOT in the eliminator in stock is pretty eye opening-and heart wrenching. Al Corda almost did not make the cut-the new cars certainly pushed a lot of high quality machines and racers out. I like the new cars, but I still think thier own eliminator would be more fair.

Only EF/S car in the field. Ron Seibenek's Topaz. Spent an hour or so talking with Ron Wednesday afternoon. Got alot of good information for my Achieva. Now just need to decide if I want to make it a legit race car? Can get the parts, now just need to decide if I want to be seperated (even more) from my wallet.

10 of the 12 remaining A/SA cars are on the left side of the ladder. Should be some serious heads up racing.

The part on Buckner's car is something to do with the crank trigger.

Just got back from the A/S and A/SA presentations of awards to the winners. Congrats to Caleb McFarland for winning A/S and David Barton for winning A/SA two years in a row! Be sure to check out all the sponsors and make sure you buy something from them when it comes time to replace something! I took lots of pictures that I will post tomorrow. It has been a long day!

We also went to a dinner sponsored by Mopar tonight. Thanks Mopar! Good burgers and dogs!

Well I think at least 2 alternates will get in tomorrow. Dave Edwards is broke and Al Corda broke a transmission. Boudreau lost an engine in the semis of B/SA and was not able to show for the finals, but he has already put another engine in, so he is ready for Round 1 in the morning. The early run schedule is round 2 of super gas, super stock class, round 2 of super comp and round 1 of stock. We begin at 8, so stock should be running around 10:30 or so.

Well more tomorrow!

Here is a video of Tim's run this morning. He was pushing the 283 to try and stay in front of Downing's Mustang in the class combo stick 1st round

X2 - My sentiments exactly! A whole lot of weight to move with 283 cubic inches. Great job, Tim!
