Oh, I agree! I wasn't complaining! I heard on the local news apparently one of the jets had engine trouble yesterday and dropped two "bombs" right near the track here on it's way to the emergency landing. The LVMS Manager heard it and saw the smoke. Practice makes perfect! (I was THIS close to going to the Air Force Academy out of high school, I think those pilots are uber cool and what they do even cooler!!!!)

No drag pacs or new mustangs and top 5 are super stocks. Two more cars have hit the trigger. The ahfa gods could be busy this year. Tom

Beth,

I didn't think you were complaining-and I can remember traveling in Nevada with my folks in their motor home in 1981-the Blue Angels came flying down the highway in formation-uber cool is the right term fr what they were doing. Good luck and have fun-are you guys going on to Phoenix and Pomona too?

No Phoenix for us - have to go back to real life for a week, but then back out for Pomona! :D

I have no way to fax it, Joe. I will take your number to the tower with me and see if they will do it. From me, pictures of the sheets will have to do. They just called us for TT#4, more info to come!

The one time I raced in Vegas,the "air show" seemed like the best part! Planes in the air I`d only seen on TV. Was kind of funny watching them going around the blimp that was filming the races!

Re: Live from Las Vegas
 
Joe, I gave your number to the folks in the tower and they said they would do it no problem. Infact, the gentleman I gave it to was surprised you didn't ask him on his facebook page. ? Not sure who it was, I didn't have time to stay and ask, Alex was going up.

Barometer is dropping and wind is picking up. So we are slowing down. It's 1 pm and we have gotten lots of runs and still haven't even started the bracket race! Everyone has been so nice to talk with here too. What a great weekend!!!!

I'm going to work on putting up some pics right now....

Only the instant HP hit is in effect at national opens.


From the AHFS:

"Final qualifying, class eliminations, and elimination runs of 1.00 seconds or more, under the index, at NHRA National and LODRS events will trigger an automatic review."

"Runs of 1.200 or more under the index will be reviewed and adjusted Tuesday following the event. Runs at all NHRA events, including those at altitude factored race tracks, are included in the 1.200-second-or-more-under analysis."

Soon or later I learn all the new rules and then they will chage them again. The cars in div 2 hit the trigger right? Tom

Re: Live from Las Vegas
 
Yes, Mr. Wahl has one trigger on his combo so far.

Looks like the C/SA heads-up race might get a couple of triggers also if they both stay green.
