[QUOTE=X-TECH MAN;274811]Hope you run 1.50+ under at Indy. Your the joke for thinking your such a hot shot running one of the new cars thats about 4 or 5 classes to low. And Im not the only one who thinks this way. D##k Head.[/QU
Terry,
If Chalie can run 1.20 under 500 lbs, heavy He may run 1.6 or 1.7 under.
That's a fast car, But you can't blame him for looking soft combo,
I think you hit a nerve, You guys need to fight nice ! lol

X tech man, got give CharlieBoob a break he's a from Southern Michigan boy close to being a Buckeye just a 180 off being a yuper, if he won as much at track as he thinks he has done here he would be bad. Dont forget he has read way to many of he's own press releases! A legend in his own lunch time. Come on CB show us how to win

Ken.....Im not fighting with anyone. I blame NHRA. Fighting is a waste of time anyway. I wish Charlie luck. I really do but some on here should face the facts.......Ford and NHRA is screwing the little guys big time with these bogus HP ratings. Charlie didnt do it. He just took advantage of NHRA's stupidity. IHRA is just following NHRA's lead in the HP factor dept. for now. Besides I didnt start with the name calling but I have been called worse over the years.....LOL.

Looks like they will run 1st round today and finish sunday..
supposed to start around 4 pm.

Andrew Hill · 08-13-2011, 04:45 PM

Well, we're done for the day with no rounds run after lots of rain and track drying. They said we're going to get a time run in the morning before eliminations.

Btw, Charlie may not have been number one, but I figure if he was in F/FI which is apparently what his weight was he should have been about 1.889 under, I don't think I could have competed with that lol

Beth Denysenko · 08-13-2011, 04:47 PM

It's raining again and looking very very nasty to the west.

IHRA has been working to dry the track from this morning's round of storms and was just finishing up. So hurdle number 1 complete.

Hurdle #2, the tower was hit mutiple times by lightening during this mornings nasty weather. The timing systems number one and two were both taken out by the lightening, they were setting up the third system but it was the track's system and so there was zero data in it. Even though the track was now dry, it would be at least another hour before the timing system would be ready.

So, we are just being told that sportsman will run tomorrow. 9 am time run only so we can all get a hit on the new timing system, then eliminations and we will run to completion tomorrow. They are still going to try and get the pro show in tonight if possible, but if not they will also run tomorrow since this is the last event and "championships are on the line" whatever that means.

We are done for the night.

And there will not be any heads-up for the rest of the race.........

Yep, maybe they will be able to fix them by tomorrow but I doubt it...

That is correct. Scooter said the scales need to be fixed by a specialized technician and wouldn't be able to be completed by tomorrow, so no heads up for the weekend.

The lightening really was horrific and scary this morning. My poor dog Lucy was jumping out of her skin every time! We are lucky the very severe stuff this round appears to have split and gone both north and south. Hearing news of very severe weather and flooding in Grand Rapids area, just a half our north of here.
