Do you know what records were set? and How quick?

My V10 "brother" Dave Thomas must not have gotten back together he was showing at the bottom of the ladder

Hope he gets to run

Both Stock and S/S got their first rounds in - Stock is in the lanes for rd2 .Many runouts in both .Marc LaBrecque broke an engine in the waterbox.Chris Butcher couldn't make the first round call .Several others couldn't stay for today ..........

I have a question about setting a record at a national open. It apears that runs during test / tune before the race can count towards a record. Is this correct.

Jack Matyas · 04-26-2014, 05:52 PM

Good news - the rains have stopped - the Sun is out and they may be able to finish tonight if another storm doesn't come along .Second round of S/S is in .

More good news - Our own RV expert Marc La Brecque didn't hurt his motor as bad as earlier thought - damage might be limited to valvetrain parts .On the other side of the coin is Dave Casey who also suffered damage in his first round matchup-maybe he'll be lucky also .

How's the Bite for you High H.P. Guys ????

Saw a bunch of you blow the tires off on Fri.

Jack Matyas · 04-26-2014, 06:09 PM

If the bite got any better for me I'd flip over backwards .............

Jack Matyas · 04-26-2014, 08:15 PM

Wow ......and holy cow -- we got it in ! ! ! That and New Jersey's own "Bubba" Linke won Stock over Joe Mocci .SuperStock was taken by Larry Jewell in that awesome red Corvette that he's had since he was a kid .

More later ...............

Nice job to the winners and runner up's. Thanks Jack for your colorful reporting, great job as always.

Before I left I got a few shots of Ron Infantino's 69 G/SA Camaro. As you can tell by the colors of Class Racer I love orange. Ron's paint is a very cool orange and flips in the sun.

By any chance would you have the super gas results??
