Glad to see some guys are letting it go all the way.
At the opens, with no BS ahfs, sounds like real racing.
Have fun.

Lots of happy faces at teardown - most were not done and I promise to get names and ET's tomorrow morning .And how about Gary Richards' C/SA ?His 10.09 is one thing but at 130 mph - WOW ! ! And he's on the pole - come to think about it - twice ? Stock and S/S - has that ever been done ? Everyone will have one last shot at knocking him off tomorrow morning .

Who decides who gets torn down and how are they picked? I have never heard of a teardown at an open. Are you racing for the purse only or is D1 some how able to get decal money paid at opens?

The cars in tear down are the ones who set records.
No decal money in D1 but the opens pay well with P.C. Richards as the sponsor. I know in the past they had a points series for the open races. I believe that may be the case again this year, with 4 opens in D1.
Between all the NHRA, ASRA and East Coast S/SS you can class race just about every weekend from May to October in D1.

Thanks Kenny and Jack, your race reports are the best!!!

In this thread it was reported that Barton (CC/SA) and Allegerucci (AA/SA) were there on Thursday and set the first half of their respective records but I do not see them on the qualifying sheet

Are they tearing down today and backing up tomorrow?

Curious ..
