Does anyone know the rotation?

This in car cam comes from Jeanne Linke in her J/SA 86 Camaro. Jeane would like to thank her sponsors. Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, ATI Performance, CamaroGuys.com, & Kubicke Photography.

Well all know how expensive racing is and any help we get is greatly appreciated.

Here are some great actions shots from John DiBartolomeo, DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine www.dragracingaction.com

A few more photos from John.

The photo of Gary Richard's SS/EA 2010 CJ is right after teardown. Not only did Gary qualify number 1 in Stock and Super Stock, he also set the SS/EA record at 9.34@139. This is with the air at 3000ft and a 10 to 15 mph headwind. Congrats to Gary and his outstanding crew on their record and number 1 qualifying.

The last photo of Super Stock right under the tower is a view many racers and crew get while watching todays racing.

Stay tune there is more....

This in car cam is Russell Linke aka "Bubba" driving his dad's 73 SS/JA Corvette. The lighting is not great and it was hard to get a good camera angle, but I thought it was cool.

one more to come....

Its been a long day, and this will be the last one for the evening. I thought it would be nice to see the cars getting ready to run in the staging lanes. This is Super Stock getting ready to run there second qualifying shot.
