[QUOTE=Tom P;261040]I was there today twice, first time i got to the gate and it was raining pretty good so i turned around and went to the swap meet, came back later and it appeared plenty dry but they were scraping the track and expected to be a couple more hours (at 1pm) so back to the swap meet. Then home. I see on DRC they ran Comp and Alky and SS... wow, Isherwood has that big ol' Belvedere flying, 9.23 ?? Amazing if so.

I see Mike Nottingham is shown as a 9.65 in SS/EA, he went 9.70 yesterday but the run was disallowed because the tech card had SS/ but not EA on it. I have no idea if there is another chance to back up that as a record this evening.

Isherwood had a pretty good scare first qualifying run this afternoon. There was a lot of track cleaning and drying but apparently not enough. After his usual large wheelie and coming down near the center line he got the car gong straight only to end up sideways about 1/2 track due to water under the surface. They scraped and dried some more and he got another hit. SS/DA 66 Hemi Belvedere did in fact run a 9.23. May have video in a few days of both runs.

Mike Nottingham in his SS/EA 67 Fairlane was just completing tear down tech and will try to better his 9.65 tomorrow morning for the SS/EA record.
