Way to go Don!!! I always liked how you ran your car, it is only fitting that you would be the first official run in the 8's.

Something about apples and oranges.......

Although the weather is great here, its been a slow day. Stock and Super Stock will not run until later today most likely tonight. No revised schedule had been posted as of yet. Between oil downs and breakage and a super gas car hitting the wall, everything is been pushed back.

I did spot this mustang golf cart, said to be competing in the new zzz/sa class to be announced later this year.

You do know that the reason stock got pushed back until last was because nhra was upset with them this morning when they took way too long getting to the lanes that it put them behind right away. So as punishment they moved them until last.

Nothing new about that, we have the same problem out west.

They threatened to close the lanes on the stockers at the points meet there last year when a lot of cars were really slow to the lanes. However, it was kinda spitting rain at the time.

Did anybody get the speed on Hill's 8.26?

Mike Carr · 04-13-2012, 07:50 PM

166 I believe. Fastest run by a traditional (non-Modified type) S/S.

Ken Miele · 04-13-2012, 10:57 PM

We final got to run, stock was the last class to run. I think we finished up about 9:30. I was about four slower, but some did pick. Hudlow picked up a bunch, and took over the number one spot, getting the bye for first round.

The weather is supposed to be the same for tomorrow mornings first round as it was today. We are out first at 8 am followed but super gas and then first round class for super stock.
