Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

We had a 29 car field last night with some new racers joining us like Steve Adams driving one of Brian Seabergs cars to the quart finals, Darrel Stobbe in his 65 Malibu, Chris Barnes in the wagon of steel thanks for the tee shirt,Tory Hadley driving Rick Greens car and Gary Howe in his 55 Chevy. So semis were Edgeworth vs Warter and McKinney vs Lang. Final was McKinney over Edgeworth. Congrats to McKinney was assume at the tree all day, I know by the .012 light against me in the quarts that put me in the trailer. He is going to by tuff next weekend at the nationals in SS. Most all these cars will be back next weekend for the nationals so this was a great test session for everybody. Are next race is in 2 weeks the weekend after the nationals and the week before the divisional race. We should have a really good car count at this one some Div 7 guys will also stay and race with us. So I guess this will beat are previous car count of 32 earlier this year hopefully over 40 cars. Forgot to mention the track was great no traction problems. See you at the races. Dale was there with his camera so some pictures should get posted hopefully later today.

Don Elgin was on the lot running in the bracket race, so there were actually 30 S and SS cars entered. Here is the final round and the Winner Portrait. I will post the run order and shots from the pits and round one over the next few days.

BTW: The weather was fantastic and should hold through the week for the NW Nationals. Dry with temps in the 80s and lots of sun.

I had a great time yesterday. Got a chance to see many friends and talk with a lot of people all day long. Yes I was there from 9 a.m. until the last car went down the track about 8 p.m. Still can't believe Troy's 66 Wagon, nearly on the bumper EVERY pass he made. Good to see some new cars out for this show. Sounds like the next event will be awesome. Yes James there definitely should be over 40 cars there. Since the event is right between the National and the Divisional - can't wait. I will be there at the water box, as usual. Thanks again for the qualifying sheet.


Danny Durham - Thanks for letting me hang out at your trailer, much appreciated. Missed saying thanks in person by minutes.

Dale - Even though Don was there, he wasn't entered in the actual stock super/stock combo race. Also, Jason Biscay was there with Bernie Plourd's D/SA? Chevelle, but broke.

I thought it was a very good day,,, I like the way the program was run all day, save for the few incidents that can happen at any drag race,,, oil downs, broken cars etc.
I enjoyed seeing some different cars this time,,, can't wait for the nationals next weekend. I was holding my own over in Pro Bracket, and then I got paired up with Brian Thompson and his stocker 5.0 Mustang, who was doing double duty. He had a .009 to my .005, but unfortunately, mine was on the red side of things. Way to go BT, a nice job.
Ron,, you're more than welcome to come out of the hot sun anytime,,, didn't need the doughnuts to bribe me!
James,, it was nice to see you again, if only for a moment, in the lanes. I'm glad you made the trip.
On one of my trips down the return road, in front of the stands, I looked across the track, and way up in the aluminum stands I saw a lonely figure, with a hat and towel around his head, and a long lensed camera on his lap, looking all like a sniper,,, I'm wondering if that was "Firesail Dale", as I see the photos posted on here.
All in all, it was my first "Super Saturday" I've attended, and I'd recommend them to any fan or racer.

Yup, that was me. It's a safari hat and a real lifesaver on a hot day.

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

Danny…Is that "Tripoli Turquoise" on the rear of your car? MB.

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

He calls it Sea Foam Green with ghost flames.

Dale

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

Yeah,, that's the color combo that was on the car when I bought it from the Shipp family of Whiteland, Indiana back in '03. I was told its Seafoam green,, I know your car is very similar color wise, Maurice. Perhaps you've got the correct name of the color, I have no '68 Chevy II brochures to look it up. The car has served me well,, only the 2nd engine in 11 years,, and it will cut great lights when the rusty 'ol fart behind the wheel does his job. Nice shot, Dale. I'm thinking I may have to go up a pound or two on the rears,, does it look like they're "wadding up" a little too much?

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

Gary,,, You're welcome for the extra beer drinking time,,, but I was flirting with disaster all day, with a .008, .001, the perfect light, and then a .051 on my single, and I turned all that into a -.005 red against Brian Thompson, the next round, so I went from penthouse to outhouse real fast like many of us have done out there. Still it was a fun day, and glad I got to mix it up with you guys. Take care.

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

When did the HP get lowered on the wagon so that it could fit SS/OA? I did not think they could go that low? But the car look great!!

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

I LIKE the green one! Never seen a picture of that car! What combo/class??

Man I need to get back to D6 one of these days.

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

Robert, Troy runs the wagon in SS/NA

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

According to their website, the green one is the Mighty Josephine II (maybe III by now). They don't say what combo it runs, but it's a door car and runs bracket, not SS or S. Usually wears a hood scoop. It weighs 4,000 lbs...

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

Troy Olsonowski's wagon has one of the best vynal wrap jobs I've ever seen. check it out up close if you get the chance.

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

I was there for the combo race and saw Troy's wagon. The car is awesome looking and I thought it was paint. It also runs VERY WELL. I was at a gathering of friends Tuesday night and talked with a mutual friend of ours and was told that it was a wrap. Shocked is an understatement and was told (if I remember correctly) the cost was $3500. WAY less than a paint job would cost

Re: Combo at Pacific raceway results
 

I may just have to wrap my old Wagon. Looks great!

I also guess I need a three speed trans to compete with Troy now. LOL!

Don, speaking of Brian's trailer, You should see it. I wish I had a photo to show you. It's a triple axle open trailer. It hauls his stocker, super/stocker and golf cart. Brian tows it with a truck and camper. Very cool and very old school. See the race cars going down the road - cool factor is way up there.
