Thanks for the updates Ken!
But, David Barton driving a Chevy?!? That's almost as wrong as Kevin Helms working on torque converters a few years ago at Indy!

The live timing has been working ok for me

"Next stop, the Twilight Zone!” it's just not right sorry.

Stock and Super Stock are done for the day. A few more classes and it will be a rap for the day. The first two photos are Thomas Baker's 70 SS/JA cuda', a very cool car.

I have two in car cams from Super Stock, I did not get a chance to do a Stocker, I hope to get one tomorrow. Jack has been busy with a trans swap so his reports might not be up for a while.

I have lot of photos and will post when I finished editing later tonight.

Update on what's left to run tonight. They still have the TAFC, TAD, Comp, Top 8 race and clean ups.

I forgot to mention that Jeff Hull is in teardown after his 1.308 under run in his FS/C 09 Challenger, Jeff runs the 426 combo. I will report back when he is done.

I didn't think you could have a 2009 426 Challenger car since they only became avail last year? But I guess its in the guide. I like the 450 HP rating...for this weekend anyway...and the lonely 6.1 is at 440. Now that I am looking you can't have a 2011 426 since its not in the guide...This stuff is still confusing...even when you are in the thick of it!

JC, I just took the info from the qualifying sheet and assumed it was correct. He passed teardown with no issues.

The first video is Jeff Lawrence in his GT/AA Mustang. The second video is Billy Pires driving Eddie Bloom's SS/CM Firebird.

I was able to grab a stocker from the clean ups. This is Todd Hoven in his 68 E/SA Firebird. The sun just went down and I thought it would be nice to give a view of the driver in his office.
