Sorry for the long delay, Jack has been very busy with his new COPO and I have been helping Anthony Bongiovanni with his cars. I will be driving Anthony's G/SA CJ this weekend.

Since I was in Anthony's pit is was easy to get some quick photos. I did get Anthony driving his SS/BA Cobra Jet. The first is an in car of Anthony, and the second was the same run from outside. Anthony had to lift early on this run, but was able to make a full pass on the next run.

The weather was very good today, I can't give exact numbers. The temp was around 65 and the barometer was 30.10 with a DA between 200 to 600 above sea level, with a head cross wind about 5 mph.

Anthony in his SS/BA went a 8.68 at 155 and hopes to set the record tomorrow. I think a high 8.50 and close to 160 is in reach. The G/SA went a 10.78 at 122.5. We hope to set the record with the G car too.

David Barton went a 9.44 for the CC/SA record in the Challenger, not sure of the mph. Gary Richard in his C/SA 69 Camaro went 10.11 at 129. Look for some faster runs tomorrow.

There are more records and Jack wrote them down, I hope he will be on later with a report. I have to more videos and will post them as soon as I am done editing.
