Live from the NHRA Finals

I will join in. Just woke up from afternoon nap as alcohol funny cars are fininshing first qualifying. It has turned total overcast but very high clouds doesnt look like rain yet.

Our cars are about .25 to .30 faster than vegas and most others seem to be the same. Conditions are very fast.

3 tenths quicker as well. And its not mineshaft. My guages said 1300 feet DA when I ran stock this morning and when Charlene ran in Super Stock it was 2200 ft.

Did Rick Pike break?

Good luck Toby and Jody!

Well, I had some fuel system issues on the second pass and didn't make it to the water box. We've been working on it and finally got it fixed. I hope. I missed Super Stock Q2, but I got some video from the staging lanes for Stock Q2. It will be up later.

A big thanks to Bob Gullett for lending me his spare regulator. Hopefully they'll have one on the midway tomorrow so we can get squared up.

I broke the camshaft. Tried all day with many great racers who helped, but it was in vain.
I'll look forward to the spring as I plan to debut a new SS/FM motor.

Thanks to all who came by to offer a hand. Dee and I enjoyed your support and company.

Have a great Holiday season, hope to see you all next year.
