Sorry everyone, but I could not make the Dutch Classic. I am not sure Jack will be there either.
John DiBartolomeo from DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine www.dragracingaction.com sent me some great action shots. If I get any news or more pictures I will posting here. |
Re: Pictures and Info From The Dutch Classic
The weather for this mornings stock runs was very good.
Temp 51 Humid 41% Bar 29.44 DA 164 ft above sea level. Most stockers were about 5-7 faster than they were at the National here a few weeks ago. Turnout seems to be very good with more cars coming in today. The seepage problems have not retuned today. They weather is supposed to get warmer as the weekend progresses, by Sunday it should be 70. |
Re: Pictures and Info From The Dutch Classic
Just got word they pulled the plug for today, to many oil downs from the top sportsman and top dragsters.
Class is also finished for stock, I would assume the fastest et takes the class win. The link below will give you all the stock class runs and ss runs, some pretty impressive runs in stock. http://www.1320go.com/maplegrove/getSeries.php The Hemi Challenge is on for tomorrow, both Westcott and Barton are running low 8.30's, it should be fun to watch. |

Congratulations to my old friend Wes Leopold Jr.
Number one qualifier and the SS/AS record too! |
Re: Pictures and Info From The Dutch Classic
The morning stock qualifing session was as about as good as it gets. I had -131ft with a cross tailwind, more cross than tail. I didn't get a qualifing sheet, sorry, but draw has them. Not sure how many cars, but has to be 120-130.
A few runs to note after 1 round of class, AA/SA Mustang 9.65 139, Dave Casey A/S 9.94 (record) Gene Monahan J/SA 11.31 (record) Scott Gove SS/AM 7.96, fastest SS pass ever, couldn't back it up, when SS had back up runs the track was getting cold and going away. Other cars in the barn, Brian Filbrick, Cecil Frazier, Clayton Wright, Wes Leopold Jr.and a few more they are going to do tomorrow. Nitro Joe has more on SS. The Hemi Shootout cars had their share of problems getting down the track, both Warfish cars had to shut off, and many of the others had big time radial wobble. Most ran mid 8.40's - 8.60's. Comp never saw the track, and TD and TS didn't finish their qualifing sessions either. It was a cold windy day with leaves blowing through the lights and the great air taking it's toll on the season old parts. I'm sure if they ran comp someone would have crashed, it was that iffy. Weather for Saturday looks better with temps in mid 60's and less wind. The schedule is 1st rd of stock at 9 am followed by sst and thats about all they told us. Hopefully the track can handle the Hemi cars, it should be a great race. George Mirza |
