Keystone/Pittsburgh Pro-AM

[Chris1529]

Just a little curious as to why hardly any of the local Pittsburgh racers came out to the pro-am this weekend? This year, there were only pro-am cars. No bonus races, no street cars, no jet cars, just the pro-am cars even for the test and tune Friday night.
It makes little sense to me that the S/SS guys close to the area just don't or won't come.

I realize that some may be broken, on vacation, taking a break, etc., but they missed a nice weekend this year.

I wished that IHRA had not dropped Drag Review . They almost have gone undercover . They need to get the message out that these events are running . I get multiple emails from NHRA about what is going on, plus National Dragster .

My junk is still apart or I would have been there.

I was surprised not to see you there Kevin. I know you have come in the past. This was only 2nd time out this year for me.

Was surprised to see Comella's there with their hemi car.

Comella has been running his car with us in div 2 at the spring races down here. If I remember right he won the first race of the season in Immokalee FL. He is a very tough racer in that hemi car.

you're exactly right! I still have friends that aren't on the internet and they're (as I am) very disappointed that IHRA no longer finds it worthwhile to print their magazine. VERY stupid move IMHO !!! I loved to see the pics the records and the editorials, not to mention the results in print. I guess no more scrapbooking is at hand, plus it was cool to show my few sponsors our pictures in a national magazine....damn shame!

Ive been to Pittsburgh Many times. Love that place. I cant justify the cost of a 1000+ mile trip to run for $1,000 bucks plus another $500 in contingency. I know it only matters if you win but Cost are Cost.

Total 5 Pure Stockers showed up Saturday and 6 on Sunday.
Think that was the count but still a great showing!
Had a lot of people drop by and say hello!
Keystone very friendly and relaxed.

Sure glad the heat and humidity went away.
Nice breeze all weekend.

Sure could use a picture of your cars.
Will post them in the Pure Stock Photo Gallery.
