[Jim Kaekel]

Thank you, Nitro Joe. Much appreciated. First time I've missed that race since '91 due to a bout with flu.

[Joe Schaechter]

FYI - there were some runs in stock that stayed on the sheet that were re-runs due to a clock problem. There was a 'lazy' start that gave the right hand lane a terrible reaction time and a great 60 foot time that ended with super fast quarter mile ets. The one time slip I saw had a .334 reaction time coupled with a 1.33 60 foot time for a K/SA. The racer never came with in two tenths of the et he is credited with on the final qualifiying sheet. NHRA gave everyone a rerun in the first session who had run to that point so they could have taken the bogus runs out if they wanted to. First round wasn't paired so maybe it didn't matter.

[Stephen & Horace Johnson]

what was the air like there?

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

This is no lie when we fired up the weather station Sat & Sunday morning it was in the minus department on sea level and when we ran Rd 1 in SG it was just over a 100 feet above. We ran numbers in the timer we never ran before trying to slow the car down.
