"Live From" The Belle Rose National Open

[Jared Jordan]

9.06 in SS/FA. That's unreal. Congratulations to Tony and Co.

Well folks, no 7 seconds runs this year. We tried our best, but even with all the timing pulled out, the track could not hold power. David did get the car to hook father down the track on the last run, but as soon as the timing started to ramp in, the tires let loose.

Steve Bell did manage to get down the track and run a 8.12 , but he a had to pull a ton of timing out to do it. It was still an impressive run because he went 171mph. I think that is the fastest Stocker run ever.

Racing is still going on, 4th round for stock. There has been a lots of down time to do breakage.

[Ok stocker]

Is there anywhere we can see round by round results?

[BRETV]

Gotta tip my hat to Sonny Hall on the 11.33 run in K. Pretty sporty for these old school 302's. Congrats!

Yes sir Tony has made the quickest pass for a F or FA class car... That's the baddest run of the year!!

[Ken Miele]

Thanks Joe for all the info on the finals. I'm on the road heading back home. I have some more photos and thoughts on the race and will post when I get home.

Thanks everyone one for tuning in on the last race of the year and all the kind words.

I thought Bell was in SS?

Mr Bell has one of each and keeps both spotless.

So who all set records and how fast did they go?

Thanks Ken and Joe for the reports and updates.
