Re: Atlanta Roll Call

This sounds just like the race at Phoenix/Chandler AZ.
Is this a pattern this year?

These brain surgeons run S/g and S/c FIRST! Frost on the ground every morning, and done around 4pm????? Lets not wait till noonish and run till 5. Lets not run stock and or S/st first, lets get 900-1100 HP short wheel base cars out then dragsters, good plan guys.

It is my understanding the race was moved because Orlando would not make the changes to the shut down area NHRA had requested, so of coarse they moved it to a track they own in that division. Thats just good buisness.

IMHO, Orlando would not work for TA even with a net system, that sucker would be busy....just too short....02.

They should have worked with SGMP and this crap never would have happened....02.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

I agree with you Rick. I am just crabby! What a waste.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

I just saw on DRC that good friend John Taylor wrecked his SC dragster at the finish line....can't reach anyone and would really appreciate an update...????? DRC said he was okay but would really appreciate hearing from someone on his condition...?????

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

2 S/C cars crashed in elimanations Larry Burenhausen being one of them. They said Larry was OK finish line also

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

Just talked to Larry,he is ok.Dragster needs a little work, but he's heading to Gainesville to run the sg car.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

Evidently John Taylor is okay also, see he ran SG the next round...!!!!!! Sad to hear he hurt the new digger though, hope it's not to bad, heard he flipped it on it's side and then hit the wall with the cage :(

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

Glad to hear it, Thanks Carl and Rick.

John won the next round of SG and skated in the next round and lost to Tatum who won,, way to go David. We pulled the motor and sent it on to Mike Thompson and the dragster is very fixable and I did get a huge scare when he flipped on the side but he is not even sore......yet.
The track sucked hard and I lost first round to a car with a small motor which was the way to run this weekend. The second dragster went over on two wheels hit the wall and went back upright and rolled on. Its a miracle several didn't wreck as you would think they are broke the way they hold back the spray. No more Atlanta in March and my fingers are crossed for Charlotte.

Re: Atlanta Roll Call

Thanks Tom, much appreciated, very happy both John and Larry came through unharmed....both are probably gonna be sore tomorrow. Hope the damage wasn't too extensive, sorry to hear about the track conditions, should be a great race this coming weekend at the Gators, best of luck to all competing....!!!!!!!
