What a difference a day makes. Clear and cool looks to be .07 or .08 faster right now. Have to see when we go up. Stockers already running. First pair double breakout. Could see alot of that.

Well it is a much nicer day today. Stock was anywhere from .07-.10 better on average. Super stock was about .07-.08. I won both r2 of stock and r1 of ss. We are supposed to run r3 of stock before pros but it's 9:45 and they are only in super gas. So, I anticipate that we will get pushed back to after the first session of pros, and it could turn into a long day especially with Alcohol here.

Looking at the results from 1st round of S/S, it looks like the track lacked traction for many racers. Good luck to all. Dyno

Traction was awesome. I unloaded almost immediately. People that didn't make it down the track probably unloaded.

Unless I am mistaken,this was Dennis Oliver's M/S - P/S 4 speed car for a zillion years. No telling how many trips it has taken down a strip.
Was always a very nice, well detailed car. ![]() |

Yep, I pulled a Ratcliff, no offense Kyle(speaking of, sure do miss that guy on this forum). I Got on the breaks a little to hard trying to feed Cooter some stripe after i missed the tree. Little did i know he was double O and i was finished anyway. I was able to pull it back in and just touched the wall. Car is hurt but I'm fine, besides my ego. Last thing I want to do is get out of shape and I'm ashamed it happened. Could have been much worse, but its nothing a little bodywork and paint won't fix. My opponent Hildalgo Jr, and his dad Jimmy came by and offered to help with the parts. Great people, and I feel terrible knowing I could have caught them up in my mistake.
