Jeff all I know is what Daniels told me. He said he is running his Camaro in H, and that's the end of it........ Oh I did forget to mention its a Camaro.... oops!

I've heard you had a good sense of humor, I think this is kind of funny, don't you.

Here are some radom shots of the later rounds in the staging lanes.

Ken Miele · 08-04-2012, 11:13 PM

More.... I also have more action shots.

Ken Miele · 08-04-2012, 11:19 PM

These shots are from John DiBartolomeo from DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine www.dragracingaction.com. Great work as always

Very nice shots guys...also wondering when is someone going to paint one of those Cobra Jet Mustang's in a Class Racer orange & black paint scheme, hint-hint.

A few more pics from last night ..........

Jack Matyas · 08-05-2012, 08:03 AM

OK - So this isn't Stock/ SuperStock stuff but what its been has been pure torture for me anyway .This car has been parked right out my front windshield for several days now and I glad I'm leaving soon as I can't stand it anymore .Sure - its not a new Mustang or Camaro or even a Challenger ......but what it is -- well pure sex on wheels is what I'd call it .The brand - Mercedes Benz CLS 550 - they're not for everyone but what lines they have .The owner - Jackie Fricke - Division One Alcohol pilot - next time I'll know not to park near her pit as once you look at this car you have to look more .Hope she didn't mind me drooling all over her new car ..........
