Friday Day One Qualifying Boise Report

Bob Gullett · 05-11-2007, 10:07 PM

Got thru a very hot day here in Boise. The temperature was in the mid to upper 80's today. First round of qualifying was at 9AM with the density altitude around 3800 feet. Faster than the test and tune day but not the mineshaft conditions that would be nice to see. After that the air hovered in the 5500 feet range. Steve Wann broke a rear end on the last qualifying run in the stocker. Not sure if he can get it back together or not but knowing Steve I sure he will back tommorow morning. Not sure what records were set. I think (but don't quote me on this) Charlie Smith was tearing down for the B/SA record. Bill Kost had an "R" on his window. I didn't see him tearing down so I'm not sure whats happening there. Don Little set the GT/FA record and as far as I know was tearing down. To answer Jeff Lee's question about Rob's new dual 7 inch clutch all I can say is that I'm 60 footing at Boise what I used to 60 foot at sea level. So I can speculate that its probably worth 7-9 hundreths at least in my combination. All around a fun but hot day. Traction was great. From the second round on there was about a 5-6 MPH headwind. Off for a cold beer and supper.
