Unfortunately, due to commitments with work, I'll be sitting this one out. I hope everyone has a safe, and dry race. Jack, we love those old photos!

What a day ! ! Because of the weather conditions today we had a very late start this morning .Not a lot of cars here for the test n tune and as for record attempts -- forget about it ."Only" three records were set today -- Dave Thomas in his SS/BA Corvette -- 8.86 , Gary Parker in his 73 Camaro H/SA --11.11 @118 Plus MPH and last but not least yours truly in C/SA with our 97 Firebird at 10.36 at almost 129 MPH .

Tune-up and record runs are still going on and today test n tune was a bargain -- you could get as many runs as you wanted -- just wear your stuff out if you so desired .Tomorrow is still looking bad -- probably a washout ! ! We'll see -- hoping for the best ......

Still plenty of pit space so com'on down ........later .

Extra -Extra -- SS/H record set at 9.74 and backed up.............

Hey Jack Congrats on the record in C, Thats a hell of a deal for a test n tune, Maybe you want to come back West and get 2 runs for a 100 bucks again in Vegas Huh!! LOL. You coming back in OCT??
Good luck in ATCO and maybe we can meet again in OCT. We couldnt make it to this month but
