Nice ! Thanks Larry, reminds me of the good old days at E-town.

Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

As you can see, there were some very good cars at Beech Bend. Some of these you may not have seen up close before. We all had a great time. There is another of these races Aug. 8 & 9. It should be a good turn-out again, unless everybody is getting ready for Indy.

Does anyone know who won the race on Sunday?

I just looked at the website for Beech Bend. Jeff Taylor won, and Nick Morris ran it up.

Larry, Notice anything missing from the shaker hood scoop on the blue A/SA '70 Hemicuda? Or does stuff like that just not matter anymore at a local weekend combo race? I sure hope the phrase "who cares" does not apply here.

Good eye Travis, Knight's Cuda was classed as an IHRA A/SA so he could run off of the 430 IHRA HP. I believe the scoop is correct when he runs @ the open and at the points meet using NHRA rules. To me it does matter.

Patsy & Larry,

Thanks for taking the Time and the great pictures ... Nice to see all the old faces, still doing what they Love the most ... You guys had a great turnout, good luck with the next one ... This maybe the Best game in Town going forward ....

Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

Thanks for the reply Larry. You are correct that Knight does run the louvers in the shaker scoop when he is at NHRA opens and points meets.

So IHRA does not require certain items that can effect performance. What happens if a NHRA A/SA car runs an IHRA A/SA car in eliminations? Does only one of the cars need correct items that can effect performance?

How many G/SA cars were there? It seemed that every other picture was one!

Thanks for the update and great pictures.

Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

Travis, Larry and Knight had to run each other Saturday night and they dialed in. I think since this race is run at an NHRA track competitors should have to use NHRA factors. All other same class races are run heads up.

Re: Combo at Beech Bend
 

I want to say thanks to Dallas and Clay Jones for having these two day races. I truly think this may be the future of our sport. The format gives you enough time to race and socialize with friends but doesn't require a large investment of time or money. We do need to work on the tech side of things, but if these continue to be successful I think that will happen.
