"Live From" zMAX Dragway Charlotte Double Header

Before anyone makes a comment about this being the Stk/SS, please understand this a part of history and I think it worthy for all racers and fans to see. I talked to a few Super Comp drivers about the 4 wide experience. Many were concerned and still are, but some did say with a little smile, it was kind of cool. Personally I thought it was very cool to watch and for the most part it went well.

Super Stock is just finishing up, I don't know what the plan is for the rest of the day. Its cloudy and it could rain anytime.

How about running Class 4 wide maybe that will get some horsepower inline faster. I don't think you could get 4 people to agree to the 1000ft race.

I timed in to the all access to watch stock and watched the Super Comp time trial and thought it was pretty cool. I was also really impressed with the reaction times these guys throwed down, I thought it may be a little confusing to some of them but to their credit it didn't seem to affect hardly none of them.

Well after going up and about 6 cars running for the 2nd qualifier and then being sent back because of rain, ;then going back up to finish up, we are still the fastest A/SA. And we made our fastest run ever. 9.97 @ 131.

They are running Top Sportsmen now and may get in the rest of the show today!

More later!

Big congrats on the 9.97; when I saw Q2 on DRC, I figured that it may have been your fastest run ever.

X2 - Hard work does pay off. Nice job Larry.

Also, great job by Patsy on the pictures.
