Congratulation to Carey Bales on his running 8.005 I have to say that it impress many racers out there but also quite a few fans young and old. I was sitting in the stands when the Honda(with chute and plates) ran and these two young man who were sharing the same bleachers as I was couldn't stop talking on how cool it was to see a Honda run that fast. Both couldn't wait to try getting their Honda's to get to warp speed once they got home. This is what it's all about guys and girls, interesting young people in our sport. Carey you made two new fans. Claude

He made a few fans in the lanes, also. Me being one of them. I stood there stunned stupid when he made his first pass. Ok, ok. The stunned part was unique, but that is beside the point.
I wanted to find where he was pitted so I could confirm it was a four cylinder with a turbo the size of a D10 Cat. That car popped and crackled when the lights were coming down and left like a rice rocket. |

I was parked next to them at Indy. I wondered to my self "Does that thing run over 150 MPH to need that chute?" Until I heard him make a pass. Yes, yes it does!

7.92 at 174 during the first round this morning....like WOW!!!!!
I saw his 8.00 last week and figured if he ever hooked on that small tire it would be truly incredible...and it is.

316D Carey Bales 391 Irvin Johns E1 ****WINNER**** 0.107 7.923 174.39 No Time SS/DX Dial: 7.91 (+/-): 0.013 GT/CA Dial: 9.42 (+/-): 90.579 Qualified: #10 8.005 -1.045 #21 9.394 -1.006 Johns' car rolled through the beams before the tree came down. Bales then ran the quickest run in Super Stock at this event and probably the quickest ever. How fast did John G go in his Buick?? Also the AM car went seven something. Tom
