OK - one last thing and I'm headed for sleepy time - the 'Rumor Mill' is churning here at the Grove - the latest is the NHRA is going to separate the 'new cars' into their own deal next year with an announcement coming in a few weeks .This reporter tried a bunch today to get anyone to confirm or deny this - but no luck either way .We'll just have to wait and see..........And ClassRacer will stay on top of this ! ! !

And NO - its not April 1st

Interesting to see that Victor is running a 5 speed stick. I predict this will not be the last FS/Stock car with a clutch. If it works in Pro Stock it will work in Factory Stock.

Hey Ken & Jack, Thanks for all the posts, pics, and updates so far this weekend. A broken foot prevented me from going, and will put me out for the Dutch too. So seeing all these posts etc. is comforting to say the least.
Thanks also for the pics of my best buds, the Smyth Family and Team Portatree. It was great to see Stephen get the trophy is CC/SA even if it was against you Jack. Was a close race from the numbers aspect. Please keep up the great efforts. Have a safe race everyone.

Good morning members - in a little over an hour Stock will head out to round one - maybe - even with the Sun up its foggy and may delay things a bit.Either way it'll be another nice day here at the Grove .With temps now in the high fifties and climbing fast and the barometer at a steady 29.48 the only problem seems to be the humidity which is at a little over sixty percent but should burn off with the Sun now up........

Guys I have a question. Not being a class racer but just a lowly bracket racer, although I do love everything about what you guys do, I'm not used to the way some of these engines sound. In the David Barton video driving the hemi car. When he gets in high gear just before he lifts, it sounds like the motor lays over. Did it sound to anyone else like it might have been a problem or just pulling the motor down with the loss of gear? Just curious about what I heard.

Thanks to those who do the Live From threads. I really enjoy the reporting. It has to to me a lot of work to race and keep us all entertained at the same time.
