"Live" from JEGS Sportsnationals 2017 - Page 3

Well, it turned out to be a very nice day and evening. Lots of rigs have been pulling in all day. I don't think the turnout is going to be as big as last year, but the forecast is probably playing a big role in that. Tomorrow should be a nice day and we should have no problem getting our 2 runs in. We run class on Sat. without any runs beforehand, so if you want to run class, you need to be here tomorrow or you will not be able to get on your ladder for your class. I think you can still get a qualifying run on Sat, but it will be at the end of the class runs if they do it the way that they changed the rules to.

Here are a few more pics:

They owned a bar in Chandler, AZ for a long time too. Great folks. Haven't thought about them in years. Never saw Maureen without shades on. They also had an F automatic Duster too.

Tom also ran a SS/A Dart in the '70s. Gary Herman's old car I believe.

Well "Irene" is playing and all is well with the world! Super Street has been called up and Stock is next! It is a beautiful day here at Beech Bend and we get 2 runs today with no clean-ups according to the schedule!

More later!

104 stockers made the first run this morning. Pretty fast out there. More later.

It's the Jegs Sportsnationals, I doubt the Summit Drag Race Cental site will be real quick about posting results.
