"Live" from the Western Swing - Page 10

Larry Hill · 07-09-2010, 11:57 AM

Well it is another beautiful day here in Seattle. Stock just made our 1st run of 2 for the day. It is 80 degrees, DA 1860'. We spun a little, only a 1.40 60'. We ran a 10.39. They had Kelly Thomas as #1 at .88 under, DeFrank #2 at .85 under. But they had Cour in the wrong class. He went 10.14, but I couldn't see which class. Yesterday he had AA/SA on the window, but I don't know what he teched as.

More later.

Well, we just got bumped to the end of the day along with super gas. I will try to get out and get some pictures.

I just got my copy of the "west coast edition" rule book. Danny Durham was kind enough to hand deliver a copy. On the cover is the NHRA logo, in big red letters "WEST COAST EDITION" and under the red letter heading is a picture of Joe Sorensen car with its wheels in the air and it looks like its on a low 9:80 run in B/SA. I looked at the cover picture with a magnafying glass to see if the car had any leaks. I will read it and point out any differences.

Well we finally got in our 2nd run. It's 87 degrees and the DA 2345'. We hooked better and picked up a little. I'm afraid Sorensen was hunting us because he still only went 94 mph. A lot of people changed around, tho. Cour is #1 at 10.01 .99 under.

Well we missed Sorensen for 1st round, but can run Lambeck 2nd round. Here are a few more pics from today.
