What day are you guys making passes? Sunday?

I think some runs Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sunday is what I'm seeing, but I can't say that. Could be one run each day. I didn't say that.

Watching the Mile High Nationals last night they showed the new Drag Pack cars and part of an exhibition run by the two. I don't know who was behind the wheel in the right lane but they almost took one of the centerline cones. I think it was the 60' one. Anyway they are neat cars.

Well, we are back. The cars put on a good show, but the motors were so turned down, we were not sure they would start. They were both about one second under in spite very slow 60' times. And of course the 9000 or so DA don't help. The blown car ran high 60's @ 157 in Detroit and the 426 ran 9 low teens @ 148. Ten degrees timing. The engineers had to hide the computer from us. It was a lot of fun.

John Bandimere III, Sporty ran the car that got close to the centerline.

Jeff, The continued advances are great. The new cars are good for drag racing. My only question is where they will run in classes available? Will they be significantly faster than the current cars?
