St/ Louis National Open

I have a pdf that I scanned in, but can't figure out how to post a pdf. Here is a text file from the Qualifying. It is pretty messy, but I think you can read it. Weather was fast yesterday. Traction was ok. The weather today is wet so far, but if it keeps moving there is a chance to get it in.

Does this help.

I just got a call from my mom.Rained out.Race will be run on May 9.

[james schaechter]

Sorry for the messy post. Greening was in his SS Mod truck. They were testing more than anything and didn't run it out all of the way. Pretty nice piece!

The Greening stockers were not there.

They pulled the plug today due to rain. I heard May 9, but they didn't say if they closed the field or not. The original schedule called for another Q run today so maybe they will leave it open. I would say to watch the Div 3 site.

Spring Sportsman Challenge XVII to be completed May 9
Rain forced postponement of the NHRA Spring Sportsman Challenge XVII Sunday afternoon at Gateway International Raceway. The event is scheduled to be completed Saturday, May 9. Entries are still open in the Super Stock-Stock combo, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street and ET brackets. Complete run schedule to follow.

[TOSTO RACING]

I can't wait until May 9th. I had a problem after the first pass bent up the torque arm ,but it will be fixed and we'll be back on the 9th. I was excited after my very first pass in the car as stocker it went .82 under in C/S I can't wait to see what it'll run when we get everything lined out. I had a blast and like I said I'm excited to get back out on th 9th. I 'm going to have alot of fun running stock eliminator I can tell.

[james schaechter]

That orange Camaro is really cool! I wish I could have come over to look it over more closely. Good to have more stick cars out there!

[TOSTO RACING]

Thanks James stop by on the 9th
