let the Fun Began . The first meeting will be the first round of Class then we will all decide if there will be a bye , In order to be fair I think the oldest person , and a rookie in this class , with a never ran before car should get the bye , just thinking out loud > LOL

Latest Update on my new car needs a different drive line and I had to convince Phil and Tony at PMR Race Cars to set the rev limiter at 7000 rpms . LOL We did put a street gear in the car in case it has no power and won't run to drive it on the streets as we use the race car to pull out palm trees during the off season in the summer here in Arizona. LOL

Dear Don,
Gosh Ive only known you for twenty years could u atleast spell my name right?

lol

Hey is that bye run an age before beauty thing? You might win the bye on both counts with that scenario...not sure!

On the cubic inch vs hp factor thing, seems there are classes that the sbc's cant dominate. Just like you see them rarely in duallys or motorhomes. Hmm wonder why? Honda engines are more efficient than sbc's also but I guess they dont make GTAA either, nor do junior dragster engines

Isnt that the whole reason for class racing and the reason for the large span of catagories? Twinkie is as twinkie gets i say. lol

Las Vegas Super Stock, Stock class eliminations to run Thursday
Tuesday, October 20, 2009

NHRA has announced a scheduling change for Stock and Super Stock class eliminations at the upcoming Las Vegas NHRA Nationals, Oct. 29-Nov. 1 at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Due to a total pre-entry in excess of 700 cars, including more than 130 entries each in Stock and Super Stock, it has become necessary to run Stock and Super Stock class eliminations Thursday. All Stock and Super Stock competitors will be given one qualifying run Thursday morning with round one of class eliminations scheduled for approximately noon Thursday to avoid the potential of cold temperatures in the evening.

Tech and registration are still open all day Thursday.

Big Road · 10-21-2009, 12:47 AM

I heard there might be a car there in GT/aa with a olds motor in it. Did anyone hear any thing like that??????????????

Don Kennedy · 10-21-2009, 07:16 AM

Don Kennedy · 10-26-2009, 02:48 PM

The latest for The GT/AA Shoot Out at Vegas;

Stacy is not going to make this race From Indy ,but The Strong running Ford of Colin Wigle is on his way , which is way cool . The latest rumor is which ever GT/AA car won last buys Lunch . I wonder who that is ???

On a side note My "new" car is just getting done as Phillip, Tony and (Phil The Boss LOL)at PMR Race Cars in Montclair., CA
have been woking very hard on getting the car done for the Fun. Test n Tune runs in Vegas. By the Way for those that knew my Trans Am had the headers going forward and today for the first time in 26 years I heard what My Old Pontiac 455 SD motor sounded like with normal headers not bad so far . lol

Let the Fun Began
