Round 2 of Super Stock is up along with Bernie's second round in-car against Jim Meador. Sorry if the video is a little shaky, I just got done winning a pretty big round.

maybe defranks car is moving back and forth ever so slightly against the two step and it is a reflection on the wheel the perfect storm so to speak.

Is it possible a leak at header ?

Exactly what I was trying to describe. When you look at it on my laptop its hard to tell but when its on a 65 inch TV you can see it real good LOL.

Watch Don Kennedy's run from the same video at the 9 minute mark. His car is obviously rocking, but it does something similar to Jimmy's. I believe Jimmy's car is rocking also, but it's hard to see.

looks like the same storm to me.

It's the GOLDEN SHINE and the car rocking!

Toby we are enjoying all of your reporting, thank you and good luck!!!

It could be the phenonmenon like what occurs when filming (videoing) an object that's turning. For instance, propellors look like they're turning backwards, sidewall letters going backwards on racecars, etc.
I seem to remember Jeff Foster posting that stage beams are not steady, but rather they pulse. Could be the difference between the pre-stage beam pulse and Toby's camera's frame per second rate? Just a guess.
More importantly, thanks Toby for all these videos. They're terrific! I don't see any decrease in quality on You Tube. Don't abandon the 'stills' either, as I like them as well.

Man, am I lucky. It was the typical deal in the lanes with nobody wanting to go up. They said they were going to start running Stock. There was only one pair up there and I figured I'm ready so let's go.

When I got to the front of the lanes they had already sent the first pair around the tower, so I started to get my belts on. By the time I got around the tower, the first pair was already in the water. Then they motioned for us to go out. About 20 feet across the line I remembered I forgot to put the last number of my dial-in on. I thought, oh well, not much I can do now.

I thought he was dialed pretty soft. He ran a 13.02 last night and was dialed a 13.09. I was pretty sure it wasn't .07 slower than yesterday and I'm thinking the only way I'm going to win this is if he breaks out. I'm shifting the car a little higher this year so there's not much I can pick up there. I was going to put an 11.86 on and it would have ran an 11.87 all out.

Maybe it's my day.
