Vegas Comp qual # 1
 

I think that Jirka's run in Q1 is the first 1. plus under run, I have ever seen. Darned impressive, but I wonder if he thinks about how much he pops hisself for. 1 under in Comp ? Wow ! Before the CIC, there was some close to that, if they did'nt get it.

I'd be willing to bet that is either a typo or driving/tuning mistake.

According to DRC and people at the track, it was a -1.003 pass........ 6.12 @ 223...... not positive on the numbers......... rumor is that Kaplan is aiming to dip into the 5's but missed it on this pass........ supposedly was a little out of the groove around half track......... VERY IMPRESSIVE

He ran a tad more than 1.1 under a few years ago at sea level at Mission. That is one badass altered! It is real close to being an alky funny car with a '23-T body. He has the chassis dialed in like nobody else. It hooks and goes straight. The max permanent CIC hit for one event is a tenth, and I don't think he's too worried about it.

He will be in Pomona too. Should get into the 5s there. And I don't think index matters to him. I hear that the alterd may be parked next year and his AA Gas Corvette will be in Pro Mod.

Guess Kaplin is showing what his car will really run. Why am I wondering if Al Billis isn't in this mix somewhere? Be great to have a large purse comp race (win 100K) once a year, at a known fast track.Format is the record with a tenth breakout. Heard of that before? No permanent penalty, non points meet.Most of the time the racers quietly slide to a meet somewhere and set the record, take the record back or replace an expired record. Good for them, but let's see them really run.My lottery win first wish!
