Re: Live from Gainesville
I drove to G-ville late last night, saw stock first round and SS class elims today too.....Adkins was in tear down along with a 67/8 red camaro, I think Rodriguez was the last name. There was a pile of people around the car all talking Spanish, maybe someone knows who I am talking about. Had the intake and carb off the car, the red aspen Dodge was there as well. Seems like there was another car too, I can't recall, only 1 hour of sleep last night (I wish I had a good excuse for that, however I don't,lol).
Traction must have been good, lots of guys were coming up on the wheelie bars HARD and unloading the tires. Maybe they made some changes, I dunno...
One silver mid 80's camaro, hood scoop car, I think SS/AS but can't be absolutely certain, came up really hard and made a sharp right turn from the left lane ...fortunately missed the tree but did get the 60 ft timers and the ESPN camera. I don't think the car was hurt, I did see it in the pits with the right front wheel off later.
SS/B was very entertaining, AH Adkins won it with driving. There were lots of good runs for class today. I wish I could remember more of it, maybe I will after I get some sleep. Somebody with a newer Dodge in SS/BS or BM is bad fast, I do know that. I think it went 160mph. if not, ptretty close. I should have gotten a sheet to go by, choose not to so I wouldn't miss any action.
