Hey Tony, Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Bad enough breaking the drive shaft let alone the engine. Sorry to hear but I am sure you will return soon. Regards, Joe Fasano.

I hope we can get a national open down south. It would be really cool, but I am not sure we would have enough support down here for an open. It would almost need to be run before a division race.

It's my understanding that Chris B was allowed to make a back-up run after making repairs. Definitely the right decision by D-1 officials.

Cooter, you and your dad need to come up to Bowling Green, Memorial Day weekend for our d3 open plus the 5k combo race. You can let that GTO loose and see how fast it will go.

In the CIC race I wound up running 9.74 for a first round loss, still no were close to the new cars but I'm just happy to be in my Shelby again. We should have a another sheet for the final qualifying tomorrow thanks to Jack, he brought you these sheets.

The CIC race was exciting even with a shortage of entries .Four rounds of fun and in the final it was Anthony Bongiovanni in his awesome SS/BA Cobra Jet against Steve Szupka in his 305 powered eighties Camaro I/SA and in the end it was anti-climatic as Anthony went red handing the PC Richard sponsored prize to Steve .Great racing for sure.....Don't miss the next one ..

And yet they still wonder why not many want to participate in the CIC race.

Here some more photos in the pits, staging lanes and tear down. Ed Bednaz got fresh paint over the winter, and the photo does not do it justice. The black paint is flawless and looks sweet on his Nova.

Jerry Panza in is newly acquired D/SA 67 Fairlane. Another clean look stocker, its absolutely perfect. This RJ Sledge's old car. Jerry had the interior redone and it also looks great.
