Hey Ken sorry I didn't step up with any reports this weekend but as you know this is a big family weekend for us. The girls have had a big weekend at the water park and it was good to see alot of people.
Got to thank Richie Decola for letting me drive his car after a grenade went off under my transmission last weekend. It's a great car I suck but it was a fun weekend.
There was a few people I missed like Brett Candies I couldn't never seen to connect with and a few more. We'll catch up next time!
Now we're off to the Jimmy Buffett concert with Greg Rowe so it's Five O'clock Somewhere!

[Ken Miele]

No problem James, it was good to see you... enjoy the concert.

Hey guys, I hit the road but I did get some photos of Stock 3rd round before I left. I also have some 4 wide Factory Stock Showdown photos, I will post them later.

My next race will be the Virginia NHRA Nationals in 2 weeks.

The Four Wide FSS deal looks pretty neat (is that still a word? Just checking since I was referred to as old in another thread). Based on what “First in the Sevens” Turk is doing with a six year old car I’d suspect he’ll be the guy to beat. True innovator and competitor who keeps proving it, at this weekend’s Four Wide only the most recent example.

I have watched most every qualifying run for those guys, very impressive to say the least!
my question to everyone is I thought this race was going to introduce the new factory experimental class, anybody know when that’s going to happen?

I was wondering the same thing it was the talk all Winter but now not a word.

[Ken Miele]

Factory Stock Showdown qualifying. It was hard to get all the cars in the photos, but you get the idea on what the 4 wide's look with the Showdown cars.

As far as I know none of the Factory X cars are finished yet. However I have seen speculation that there may be enough of them done to have some exhibition racing in the fall. In the mean time they can run Comp Eliminator.
