My friends who are there tell me that there are about 15 class cars and
about 200 JR dragsters. At a natl. open with grade points .

sprnova · 01-30-2010, 11:20 PM

There are a total of 9 cars. Mark Y, Josh E, Kip M, Rick U, Rusty H, Kayla M, Dick M, Billy ?, and Dave W.

sprnova · 01-30-2010, 11:22 PM

And Yes there are a few jr's. Not many cars in the other classes either.

The stock super stock deal at Vegas next week is probably effecting the turn out at Speedworld.

Mark Yacavone · 01-31-2010, 12:29 AM

Here's what I've got so far ,with one more hit in the AM

M.Y. V/SA -1.23

Josh Edwards SS/GM -.88

Kip Martin SS/L -.77

Rick Unterseh P/SA -.72

Rusty Hall C/SA -.60

Kayla Mozeris F/SA -.33

Dick Meierhenry K/SA -.19

Dave Workman L/SA -.12

Bob Elliott L/SA + .08

No record attempts besides your truly. Set and backed it up @ 14.47. Hopped it up for the fourth hit and ran the .26. Going to try to back that up in the morning w/the mph record.
2500' average, 30 to 60% hum, 28.3 baro, high 60's, headwind.
That all for now....

I heard that Bob Elliott won the combo.

Congrats Bob!!!

Mark Yacavone · 02-01-2010, 02:01 AM

That 's right Jody. Congrats to Bob.
Quite a feat ,seeing he wasn't able to run the index all weekend.
Apparently, knowing this, Rusty Hall gave Bob a bunch on the tree in the 1st round, and he turned on the winlight.
Second round, # 3 qualifier Kip Martin redlighted, advancing Elliott to the third bye in the semi's.
I had to run Josh Edwards, the # 2 car at that point. I figured I needed to go for the kill, instead killing myself with a .0004 redlight . Josh was 1 to the good side of the tree but about 5 slow. I was about 2 fast, so it might have been a good one.
I guess the black V6 Camaro rocketship hurt the motor against me, and wasn't able to return for the final . Bob singled for the win with a 12.84 on a 12.70 index.
We were able to back up the 14.26 run this morning with a 14. 253 @ 92.57.
,and I didn't want to cut any closer than that (- 1.247 under)
Teardown was after the final today, so T and I just stuck the head back on and pushed it on the trailer at O-dark -thirty.
Beautiful weather ,but a fast paced and hectic day.
