Darlington Pro Am?

art leong · 07-16-2012, 05:57 PM

Are you able to run 1/4 for time shots? Can you set 1/4 mile records there?

Jim Wahl · 07-16-2012, 08:06 PM

Art, it will be an 1/8 mile race. I doubt they will let you make 1/4 mile passes. Probably up to the new Division 2 Director. See you there. Jim

We've set 1/4-mile records there before. Teardown on Friday, run your record runs Saturday between qualifying runs (They will be separate... you will get no data from the runs other than ET & mph, so it's not an extra hit that non record-setters aren't getting)

Still waiting on a schedule. Rumor was they would stack the previously rained out Race #2 from Carolina Dragway onto Darlington... guessing Monday?

Oh... speak of the devil... just went and looked and it was announced today:

Sounds good to me. Hope to be there. Going to look for a room right now.
Any suggestions as to a hotel? I see a few in Florence, only one in Hartsville.

THE LEGEND · 07-16-2012, 10:07 PM

Florence has a lot more to Choose From as well as eating joints. Don't know much about Hartsville.

Never saw 1/4mile record runs at Darlington. We did at Rockingham.

Who is new director? What happened to Frank?

Can you give me any ideas for Florence. I want real nice and real cheap, but I know I'll have to settle. Just don't want a fleabag Bates Motel.

THE LEGEND · 07-16-2012, 10:25 PM

I forget the exit. I think 169 hwy 52? Lots of Name brand motels there. We always stay at the track but one year it rained us out and we got a room at either WWIngate/ or Wyndham cant remember it was new. Beard or Myron should be able to give you some choices.

We usually stay at the Days Inn. Right next to a Waffle House. Myron can eat there.

I set the J/CM 1/4 mile record there a number of years ago. Usually only a couple of cars attempting 1/4 mile records, so its easy to miss.

Chip, They sent Frank out West. Satch is the new DD. Jim
