Gettin' warm out, and the lil' car has its tongue hanging out, but made it past 2nd Rnd! Got a couple grins, thumbs up, and laughs on the return road. Everybody loves an underdog (Right Harry?). :). Down to 11 cars in Stock.

Chris Kilraine broke a pushrod, but they've got it replaced already and is riding around the pits.

Lost a double breakout to Clint Blezian 3rd Rnd... But the fun's not over! Gambler's race tonight.

Blezien (A/FIA Trans Am) over Capellupo in the Stock semis, Boburka's gorgeous yellow A/SA Camaro on the bye.

Congratulations to Tim Worner for his SS win over Anthony Bertozzi. Heard AB rip it 2-3 times, and got behind at the stripe.

Nice turnout for all the classes this weekend. It was a lot better attended than the spring race was. Pittsburgh is a great facility (less the rocks) and the Tedescos food is always awesome!! But alas,I got busted first round so I left Beard at the track and Barbara and I are setting out on the veranda eating delmonicos and drinking dirty martinis......LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Hold down the fort Terry... I got by McGrath first round, so we'll be here a little longer, trying to get some seat time. :)

60' has gone away, but picked up mph... ET's about a wash.

Hurry Hurry Hurry... Had someone else interested in the Turismo... ;)

Welp, .022 taking .020 is no good... Lost a double breakout by .013 to Mike McGrath 1st Rnd. I'm off for a 9hr jaunt home. Keep it tuned to DragRaceCentral for all the numbers! I'll process all the top end shots I took with my regular digital when I get home, and post a photo gallery. Thanks for playin'!

Got the photo gallery posted, with 68 pics of all the fun this weekend at Pittsburgh. I'll post just a sampling on the page here, but check out the full gallery at http://www.staginglight.com/photos/pittsburgh10/

Overview of the track

John Boyer doubled up in his J/CM Malibu, winning both S/SS Combo Gambler's Races! Tidbit o' trivia, Boyer was #2 in the World in the last year IHRA contested the 11.90 category.
