In this world you have people that talk the talk and those who walk the walk. Everybody begs for this type of racing, complains about horsepower factoring systems and bitches like hell about NHRA. But unless the race has NHRA stamped all over it only a handful show up. Everybody loves the CIC race in Belle Rose (NHRA sanctioned event) and the car count is great. NSCA did this years ago and only a handful showed up. Excuses ran wild!
Bottom line racers,,,,,support these races or QUIT BITCHING!!!

No disrespect to anyone here but maybe the opening race should have been in an area more conducive to a larger draw of owners of these vehicles. Competition with Vegas didn't help . Truth be told, it is a long tow from the east coast at inflated fuel prices . Not sure of the prize fund, if there was one at all. And as Byron said --did not have the NHRA stamp on it. ( I always thought racing was racing but it does not seem to be that way in a political sense ) Just my 2 cents

Joey , is Q16 legal in the SCS ? looking at the rules it appears to be . Let me know

Looks like everyone's having trouble cutting a light on the pro tree, Kevin Helms was the only one with less than a .1xx light.

He had the best light of the buyback round too.

Butner and holbrook in the finals. Teuton had problems so we got put back in, I'll let him elaborate. We had problems of our own, car shifted at 6600 first round cuz of a bad chip. Got put back in and blew the tires off second round. Either way we had a blast, and they treated us like pros! We will definitely be back! And trying to cut a light with one of theses cars on a 4 tenths pro tree isn't easy, think 5 pro would be a little better. Is like to see some more cars in bristol, so of you have a factory race car, bring it, it's any ones race to win, think we p proved that tonight.

Bo, Q16 was only legal at this race. It WILL NOT be legal at any other race. Not sure but I believe no one was running it. It was an admitted oversite by tech.

Also until u try the .400 pro tree with a glide I wouldn't open ur mouth.

Our mishap was the trunk sprung open while lifting the car and wasn't noticed. Oh well **** happens!! At LEAST WE were here!!

Teuton,Morris, Helms all agree WE had a GREAT TIME!!!

Sounds like you guys had fun, maybe they will consider switching to a .500 pro tree in the future, and it's good the oxygenated fuel won't be legal in the future, no need for it. I hope they will find a way for the V8s to be competitive though, I really doubt they can run 5.70s.
