"Live" from the Dutch Classic

Ken Miele · 10-06-2016, 05:36 PM

A couple of Hemi cars ran to day. Gary Wolkwitz and Steve Comella ran, but no impressive numbers. A few more photos from today.

Jim is a class act. If you don't race anymore get off here. This site is for real racers.

I know Rd. 1 is random pairing, but sometimes they put a sheet up anyway for S and SS. Any pics of it if there is one at the tech trailer?

How much faster was today compared to the national last week on stocks only Q run?

.1 to .12

First out this morning was Kevin Skinner, people were flocking to the fence in hopes of seeing the first run in the seven's. Next up was Chris Holbrook he runs 8.11 and you can hear a collective sigh of disappointment by the fence huggers. Later David Barton gets his try to pierce the seven second barrier, but to no avail. Tomorrow may be faster in the morning, lets hope so.
Several records were set today pending teardown.
We go out tomorrow at 8:30 AM, maybe the cooler temps will allow history to be made. For my part I would like to see somebody in the sevens.

I did do a personal best today only to be the second fastest A/SA car.

Mike Ficacci set the D/S record at 10.28@128.

What combo is this?

1970 Z/28 with a 350 which has been factored to 320 HP from factory 360 HP.

Today was an absolutely perfect day.

Chris Holbrook and Kevin Skinner were first in line this morning looking for that 7 second run.

There was some testing and thrashing going on today.
