It has been awhile since I've won class. If anyone wonders at times why we class race. First the build up on the scales "your good!" Then Pat hands you the trophy, shakes your hand "Nice Job!" Then they called us for photos. As you coast your hotrod to the lanes I heard "nice Job, way to go." I could only wish my wife was there. Besides her support. She also would have told me my face was as dirty as it could get. Great fun!

Paul-
well said-congrats on your class win this weekend. 4 very good cars in C/SA. Also, congrats on going deep rounds in the eliminator yesterday (didn't get the chance to speak with you after you waxed me).

There was great class racing in many classes. Paul Wong has the Cuda flying! Great to see. Mark Kirby was impressive in F Auto. Great job to all class winners.

REPLACEMENT VEHICLES

"The event director has the option of allowing a driver utilize a replacement vehicle, but only under the following conditions:

1. The original vehicle is withdrawn from competition and cannot be reinstated.

2. Replacement vehicle cannot have been utilized by any other contestant at the same event.

3. Replacement vehicle must be fully certified and must pass technical inspection prior to continuation of competition.

4. Driver must stay within original eliminator category and class entered.

Just words in a rule book written and ignored by the powers that be.

I was expecting a few more cars. Then I had to get gas. Even seeing the price. Until you actually pump in 60.00 and the gauge barely moves. Holy cow! That first 60 was at 6.50 a gallon. We went to eat. I was cheering to find 5.80 on the way. Brutal! If you've never been to Bakersfield. As you travel down route 65 to the track. It is all oil field with pumps doing their thing everywhere.

The 62-67 383 had the 666, 301, intakes approved 16 years ago and everyone was running them. I was running the 666 on my car, someone complained about unfair advantage and NHRA banned both. Leaving one that will not work and is 30 hp down from the other two. Mr Hale took the fight to NHRA and out of it, the 6267 383 keeps the 301 but lost the 666. The 301 is faster on my car! I went to a 1968 car. I talked to the Gentleman that had the 1964 car in ISA and last time car was run. It was legal and they did not know of the rule change.
