OK- here's the poop - Record runs will be held again today so teardown will be later on .And here is another twist - Chris Butcher -who set the G/SA record yesterday will attempt to set the H/SA record today and has a good shot at getting it .His dad Rod told me this morning that its just a matter of adding 130 lbs and with no wind today and bit of luck.........

More news - American Muscle will not be run at this event as of this morning .Also the CIC race will be held today .That and the Stock / SuperStock combo will not happen as they have decided to race Stock and SuperStock as seperate eliminators this weekend .

Tech is being held in the lanes -- and they'll call us very soon for the first time shot .

Later ........Saddle up !

Stock is done with their first time shot and Super has just been called to the lanes. The weather is excellent to day with a mild tail cross wind.

Temp 61
Humid 24%
BAR 29.92
DA 493
Wind 5mph tail cross.

If I can get a qualifying sheet I will be sure to post.

After making a qualifying pass in one class it is not legal to change classes. So will he set the record again today and move to another class tomorrow? I call BS. Jim

You pay again, there is no qualifying at opens as it is all run random pairings. It would be like he just came in today and entered in h instead of g. it cost him , but no travel expenses 2 times. I think it is a good idea and only saw it done at opens

Yes, racers have been able to set records in two classes for several years now at Opens. Marty Bernard did it in 2003 or so, set O and P (or maybe P and Q) on back to back days at The Dutch.

I'd be interested to find out if this has been done in any other Division. Does ANYONE know what the G/SA record was set at? It's a shame we can't get any results anymore.

Hope the car was at least scaled, sealed and fuel checked by NHRA officials! It would be real sloppy to not do so when not doing tear down for over 48 hours. Jim

He would have had the H/SA record if it hadn't already been set by an altitude corrected run! Oh well -1.27 will get the AHFS up and running. Too bad it was for nothing. Jim
