pics from Dunn-Benson Pro-Am

Michael Beard · 06-27-2010, 08:40 AM

Didn't get around to taking nearly as many pics as I wanted, but here's a handful from yesterday's Pro-Am at Dunn-Benson Dragstrip in North Carolina.

Pics...
- Marvin Strickland's "Big Bertha" and Kevin Riner
- new lettering on Johnny Fisher's... what kind of car was that again?

Should probably say "That D*mn" in front of it...
- GM Row... Dennis Pope, Greg Rowe, and Joel Warren
- #1 Qualifier, Phil Hilling
- Stock rookie Roger Rhodes, driving Danny Waters' 4-door Chevy II
- Div. 9 points leader Brian Rowe, driving Richie DeCola's Camaro
- Jimmy Spell's cool stick car
- not a S/SS car, but had to include Duck Tape Racing teammate Keith Durden's new Hot Rod (Super Street) Camaro, for winning Best Engineered

Great Pictures, Michael!

I had hoped to be at Dunn-Benson this weekend, but things didn't work out like I planned them

I look forward to seeing you in the not too distant future!

Didn't get to meet you this weekend but wanted to let you know the lettering looks great! Thanks again!

Hey Bert...your car looked great this weekend, was this the maiden voyage? Hope to see you at other events.

Bert,
Nice car.

It was hot but the DUNN_BENSON staff and IHRA crew did an awesome job.

One more nice touch, go to theor website and they have all the runsheets for each class from the TT to the finals.

Tracy/Chip- Thanks for the compliment! This was our first time out. Been a long time coming but we are finally out there. The convertor is about 1000 rpm too low on stall. Should be pretty good after that is fixed. Boy, was it hot but what a nice place for a race!
