But Joe was q'd 40th,that doesn't put him in the first few pairs, Panza was q'd 87

Panza was 81 out of 82, which made him one of the three at the bottom of the order.

Ken 94 camaro and what was wrong with my wheelstand?

[John H186]

Bryan,

I know nothing about this but please give me a call at 732/910-2145. Id love to hear exactly what happened and who was at fault, be it NHRA or our computer operator.

If it was the fault of our computer operator, I would think a re-run would be in order and if Graham or whoever didnt do that I would like to know why.

Give me a call. I will always make time for racers.
