Good turnout at Epping
 

54 cars in stock first qualifying pass with e-town the same weekend. It looks like a lot of regular NHRA racers are running up there instead of e-town. I sure wish IHRA had some races close by me. How about Jim Boudreau 1.48 under.

Armstrong 8.82 in SS/BA
Fast at Epping !

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

Wow... crazy fast. Good to see the good turnout.

-1.40 under gets you HP in IHRA...

1 1499 C/SA Jim Boudreau, Tewksbury MA, '69 Camaro 10.219 11.70 -1.481
2 1051 HT/SA Bob Salemi, Forestdale RI, '92 Comanche 13.005 14.45 -1.445

How about that...none of those 1.40 under cars are "crate motors" either. So much for only having CM stockers at the top of the sheet.

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

That is crazy fast!!! Good job Freddy! Two operations and still fast!!

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

Must be a Northeast thing; not a Crate Motor to be found until #35!!

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

.....and it's THE ONLY ONE!!!!! Now that's just weird.

Tracy,

You can't have crates take the top spots when only two from Canada show up... As we discussed its a long way up their... I am glad to see the NHRA guys came out in force and supported NED... Wish I could have made the trip, good luck to all the racers ... Hopefully they don't get too much rain tomorrow, Sunday looks good...

Tracy, it's over 700 miles just from Richmond, Va , so you would be another 130 miles..
I don't blame anyone who didn't show from down here, its a haul and the weather didn't look good... But, it is a great track and can be fast as you see... We now have VMP on board and that will make for great racing next year in IHRA....

Greg
The turn out isnt really all that good sad to stay
Look at the car counts in all the classes
Last year they had a hurricane and they had 60 stockers
SS is at 25 cars
The pro pits are empty
Maybe some will come in tonight
Lets hope...

Re: Good turnout at Epping

Re: Good turnout at Epping

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

Thank you, he's worked hard in the last couple of years!!!

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

It's nice to see my old pal Jack Chin on the qualifying sheet for SS. If anybody who is there can read this, please give him my regards. Thanks.

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

Bruce Riley is also in that mix, Armstrong powered.

Re: Good turnout at Epping
 

Scott Gove's first time out this year looks strong! 8.02 is SS/AM.

Re: Good turnout at Epping
