Vic failed fuel check. He had two new cans of C-12 with him but neither can passed. While we were sitting around the pits Thursday (not qualifying), he tried to have tested but no one available to check, so therefore, first qualifier DQ with no other runs to fix problem before class. On way to first round of class, he had "turbo" problems and parked the buick and informed NHRA he was broke. Terry Lacy also had problems so there was no U/SA run off.

The sad thing about this is Vic hauled the buick all the way from California and only got 1 qualifying run, had an issue with the car and got to drive all the way home for his efforts. Had we been able to run on Thursday he could have fixed these problems (not the only one with issues that might have been fixed before class).

When we said good bye to Vic and Lori, he had a smile on his face and said he'd had a good time. Man that shows a lot of class!
