Hey everyone, Sal Biondo just dropped off an in car from his comp qualifying run.

Thanks guys, when I ask for a bone, I meant from the gods, not the members, you guys are great.

Ken, I love the in car videos ! Just dont let Fletch have the helmet cam option again ! He moved around so much, early in, I thought something was wrong with your camera !!

J/k ! All are very good !!

Ken,

Thanks for all the photo's and especially the videos. I think I learned more about staging in those videos than years of racing.
Just a quick question, I thought that tree "shields" were ban, but I see
that Dan uses one. I also noted that he block the reflection from the mirror racing and pulled the tape at the finish line to monitor his competitor beforre turning onto the return road.
Ken sorry for you loss in first round, but thanks again for all your efforts.

Well its 1015 am sat morning and SS & Stock is done for today, makes a long day of it, if we had a car we would go to Garlit's place to look around.
anyhow rounds are posted and we won our round and will see sunday. Interesting round as i seen Bo didn't fix his transmission and gave Peter a bye, In Stock they ran 2 rounds this morning one run i watched and said wow was AB's -1.08 run against Edmond in a heads up battle as Edmond told me he stopped at 1000 ft.
We will see the track tomorrow morning. SC and Comp has another run today thats it.
The 140mph 305 rocket ship is ready for another round
