[Don Sofranko]

Glad all you stick guys will be coming and ringing my ears!
Now if we can get some Kentucky and Tennessee, gear heads to make it.
I hope Robin Brown and Greg Smith are doing well, and would like to hear if anybody has seen them lately.
Also, where did the Becool Chevelle go to? Is this the car Larry Wilson owns?

Don, great video but this is still the best one!

Went to the track last night for the Test n Tune...
Temps dropped into the 60's about 6PM
Skillman cranks out an 8.88 and goes over 151
A starting line view of 4 A/FD's, barking nitro, got the blood flowing.
The Mans gang stood up the new bullet, SS/AS entry, as the track had serious teeth already.

Really, this event is better than the World Series by 100X
The eliminator finishes at night, and the racers can socialize with a cold one as the winners circle time winds down. It ends on Sat. night, and we usually gather near the 1100 foot mark near the end of the race. Lots of non winners can still enjoy the sport!

The video stuff is fun to look at. I would like to see people get their audio quality up to Fillipone standards!

I notice Tony doesn't post here ever? But does he have someone who would comment on his camera setup. I would buy one of those in a minute. There is no severe audio distortion, which is what sucks about most peoples you tube vid's. I make racing videos, and watch the details like this, its important to get a smooth sound, and not easy either.

Nicholson went 10.00 in GT/I. That's damn impressive!

Thanks for those film clips... They are really good, and I liked the contour web hosting site.
I think you have some good cameras there, but still like that helmet view in Fillipones clip.
Your microphone is almost as good to. What camera model was in Bill's Chevy II?
Also, we missed having you guys at Cordova!
Maybe a 283 Nationals needs to happen!

The highlights of this race...
---Watching the TJ Diekema and Logan Wernet's, 1962 Fury entry win stock.
This was TJ's first time win, for the always fun loving family.
--Watching Tim Nicholson wheel the Cassil Chevy II, and almost run a first 9 second ET, with the 283 4 speed setup.
--Looking at Doug Engels car in person, its the ex Warter Joint venture car.
--Watching the 4 A/FD's from the starting line.
--Watching O'Malley out laugh the Nebraska and Kansas boys.
--Enjoying the cool weather, and having friends in town for the event.
--Seeing a really good grouping of hot rods for a decent ticket price.
--Team Skillman was very impressive, and I liked the supercharged cars...
But I think the new mustangs belong in an Outlaw SS class. Come on man, these cars are as expensive as 10 wide and Outlaw nitrous format cars. They make everyone else look like the Flintstones!

The race was all done before 10PM, and had few accidents and oildowns.
A very smooth event, and perfect weather.

Don you have a PM

Brad got the contour camera right from P.C. Richards website i pasted the link at the bottom. Top one is for the camera and bottom is for the roll bar mount. It also comes with a couple mounts. We ended up going to IHRA's race at 131, its hard not to go when it is only 40 mins from home brad posted a few videos from our weekend there.
