If I am not mistaken any car that runs faster than 8.50 needs a roll cage; does Clay have one in his car?

All the COPO's were built with a cage, but cars that run 8.49 or quicker need a 25.5 SFI certified rollcage. WOW!!

The rains moved in and we are done for the day. Everyone got one run and I know for sure that a COPO Camaro went fast enough to set the A/S record. Ray Paquet was called to the tear down barn for certification.Did not know about Clay Arnett's situation. Gregg and Andrew Hill are staying at the track so maybe they can keep us up to date on the record status

The announced schedule for tomorrow is Stock first round at 9:00 AM followed by SS and one qualifier for the Super Quick cars. It looks to be a long day tomorrow because they had planned to run first round of the two bracket categories today so that has to be inserted the schedule.

I never got a chance to take any pictures today sorry. Maybe tomorrow will afford me some time for that.

the rollcage is a minor part of the updates. all the things under bottom is the hard part, depending on which sfi spec they use. should be 25.5 but who knows what the tech people will do.there is more than one that they can fall into or will they just make another one to fit the cars. no matter if the runs were made in a test session instead of an event sfi update is pretty meaningless. proud for the arnetts, they are good people

We took off once it became apparent it was going to stay rainy all day. Made it home in time for the Notre Dame game, go Irish!

It is a 2014 COPO, and the class is AAA/SA (9.70 index). According to the NHRA classification guide; the engine combo is a supercharged 350 which is factory rated at 530 HP, and NHRA rated at 548 HP which gives it a power/weight ratio of 5.93.

I have it on good authority that the Arnett's car was at legal FS/A weight which is more than 100lbs. heavy for AAA. Great run. 1.20 60' time.

Jim Schaechter sent me the first qualifying. Jim said it has been cold and there was a good head wind when qualifying.
