Art,

This would probably be true if they had a blower on it. I don't think the 428's use a blower. I thought they had to use a laptop also, but I know what I saw and there were plenty of others who saw it too. He must know how much each setting will pick up the car. I don't think he let it all hang out either.

the engine that calvert runs is a N/A pushrod motor. NO BLOWER

Sorry I thought it was the Supercharged one. It is an EFI so a laptop would change the tune. But it's probably not drive by wire.
Drive by wire opens a lot of doors as to what you can do legally.

I see only 2 qualifying runs for Stk & S/Stk. More NHRA enhancements for our money!

Brett,what do you want for $305.This is 2011:>):>):>)

Toby,

Are the car counts on the run sheets pre-entered vehicles or actual cars on the ground as of today? 64 cars in Stock and 28 in Comp!

Looking forward to another great series of reports and videos! Many thanks!

My apologies Ed. I forgot, pay more and get less Looks like that is what NHRA is getting, charge more and get less cars. Unfortunately, that's probably how they want it.

Nothing posted on DRC yet, but if you look on live timing under Stock qualifying--looks like Jimmy DeFrank is # 1 @ -1.003 under.

There are only 2 lanes, a third pass would just confuse the issue......................
Actually, most who are there ran last weekend where we recieved 4 time trials. By the 4th pass, the entire super gas field went dead on and .400.

Lew,

Yes, the car counts listed on the run sheets are from pre-entered vehicles. Actual counts will probably be a little less.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. Hope I can get some good video tomorrow. I don't know if they will let me into the reserved section of the stands or not. I might have to do it from the sportsman section or behind the line.
