Maybe because we didnt run the qualifying run ?

Got me, we teched good and never weighed or fuel checked so....there was no DQ as it were....

Ill call em on Monday and see if we can run at the makeup , thatd be way cool.

Chris if you were on the sheet and not listed as a DQ for fuel or weight......your still in.... that is how it is here in Div 1......They can't DQ you for not making a run especially if it rained.

Chris, I am pretty sure that when you call the Div NHRA office, you will have to tell them that you are running the points meet with your dad as the driver. If he was the driver at the race, and went thru tech...they will declare that he is the driver and would have to drive at the make up date.. At least I think that is how it has allows been done?

Cool, thanks to everyone.....

Im good now.....EGT issue corrected.....all flat and "in sync" AFRs good now from both banks and hopefully well be good for Norwalk as well.....

Gonna change headers now for the others without the EGT bungs after Im sure the bigger pipes as it were and see if that whats been holding us back a hair as well as a few other things I knew were/are. Well see if I can hit 1 under with this combo Ill be happy, itll get lower with work, it was .35 under on 7 cyinders lol....so who knows. Oil issues were me being paranoid it looks like.....I didnt like the sheen to the Oil but the Tungsten and Moly's as well as some of the ceramics shedding in a new engine well....different than Ive ever seen any other oil come out thats for sure....

IIm uploading Pics to Flickr right now.....there are some "Interesting" pics from all across the Country.....Vegas and Indy as well....

I think all the stock qualifying was over and we didnt make a qual run, Ill find out tommorow.

In the meantime, for all the DP and CJ haters (kidding sheesh) here are some pics, I got to see a 428 and a 352 CJ run, interesting....gonna be tough pickings albeit were still a .7 sec off the 352's time in E...but Im hoping running on all 8 right will make a wee bit of difference.

Here are some of my FAVORITES.

The entire pic reel can be seen here.

And its NOT child safe....Not bad but in vegas we had to take a couple pics of interesting things.....had to.

The Old Man at the Track.


Dirty old man with a camera



Mandie getting into the New Hemi Racing spirit



Wondering what vends out when you put a quarter down a DIY guys plumbers crack



Car hanging out at the Mopar trailer in Vegas




The BEST, I have NO Idea, WTF I am doing in this pic....None whatsoever, Mandie is looking a little odd as well...Doug Duell is the only one looking sane or normal

Id love to, Ive got the kids this weekend.....need some good quality time with them, were going fishing, shooting and all the other things a 4 and 6 year old love to do, theyve only been to the track once not really their scene yet.

Drooze, why don't you come to National Trail Raceway May 14,15&16 for the Chrysler Classic. The Hooter's wings will be on me. This is a good time and good racing.
