Semifinals
Patterson vs. Harrison

Patterson and Connolly are solidly in the 9.2s.

FS/DC

Butner vs. B. Skillman
Allegrucci vs. Holbrook

Butner, 8.83
Holbrook 8.85.

If I understand the schedule correctly, they will run one more round of the Factory Stock Showdown today and the four remaining racers will return tomorrow to finish the class in prime time. The FS/AC and FS/DC finalists will race with a handicap.

Barton had a .080 light....

My heart is about to burst with pride for my son, Kevin Helms winning the A/S challenge that was held in memory of his brother, Scott Helms. Scott is surely smiling down on him right now. He would have been so proud. Thank you Jim Schaecter for giving Scott's memory a chance to shine!

Kevin Helms with a nice holeshot win in the A/Stick final.

You're probably right, but were the new cars exempt from receiving HP based on their performance at Indy in 1968? I believe that's what James was referring to in the last part of his message.

I'm sure Mr. Summers wouldn't mind if he could run in a Factory Stock 2 Barrel Showdown this year and save some HP for next year.
