Re: "Live From" zMax Dragway - 4 Wide Charlotte, NC
 

Hey guys, a few things here first... but I'm going to start a new thread with questions and ideas on how NHRA can make Stock and Super Stock a more fair and enjoyable experiences. I had a long talk with Lonnie Grim, I'm sure most racers know who he is, but for those who don't, he is the National Tech Director.

Give me a few minutes and I will start the conversation. As for racing... Super Street is out first at 8:30 followed by Stock. I will have photos tomorrow and updates if there are any changes.

I just heard that the NHRA is requiring armbands to go to the starting line.

Yes, you need an arm band whether you are a racer or a crew member.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lack of reports... its a little hectic today with 2 qualifiers and first round. I have lots of Super Stock photos, I could not get Stock obviously, but Butch is here taking photos and he will have Stock photos in a few days for us. The internet is very slow here so I will be back later with photos.

The starting line for the Showdown cars was not good, I don't think more 5 cars got a clean run. Even my car with only 12 degrees of timing off the hit struggled to get a hold of the track. Most Stockers and Super Stockers seemed to be okay, but the Showdown cars running 4 wide was not a pretty sight.

Be back when the bandwidth gets better...

Re: "Live From" zMax Dragway - 4 Wide Charlotte, NC

Good morning everyone, we have a 830 start with Super Street out first. The weather will be a little warmer, but no rain for today. Some more action shots from Super Stock...
