Fast enough to take .17 at finish line. More than a car length At 116 mph

It might have been a car length but it appears he was dumped at the stripe, which is hard to control.

Has anyone ever thought about taking enough weight out to be light at the scales on the first qualifying run? That way you could run flat out just to see how quick your car would run at that event. Even a 1.20 under run would not count because the car would be too light across the scales.

that is completely false. 1.20 under and under weight is still a hit. look back at last year D6.

Car left track Friday on wrecker with broken rearend. Came back Saturday first run was class. Was left on by .05 and opponent was going 1.17 under at 1000 ft. Opponent dropped him and he missed drop. After working on rear night before he had to tear down on Saturday. Does not sound like how I would have planned weekend. He did make it to final on Sunday and did leave with wally for class

Sounds like a pretty good weekend other than the broken rear and going 1.23 under. Congrats on the RU
