Norwalk qualifying

Michael Beard · 05-18-2007, 03:53 PM

When's the last time there were 35 more Super Stockers at an event than Stockers??? 86 Super Stock, and 51 Stock... those numbers might be expected if they were flip-flopped!

Where'd all the Super Stockers come from, and where'd all the Stockers go?

Michael, by the time all of the cars get there I would think there will be more Stockers than SSer's. Mike

Michael,

Dont know about this year, but in the past Divsion 3 was the largest division in NHRA in Super Stock. Division 1 held that same distinction for Stock. So over here it isnt such a shock.

Michael, I may be eating those words. Only 62 cars after Rd. 2. That is a big surprise to me. The other night Greg Fulk, Charlie Downing, and myself were talking and we all thought there would be at least 128 cars in Stock. It might still happen but a lot of cars need to show up. Mike

Picked up a few more in the cleanup round, up to 71, but Super Stock also added a few and is still +35 at 106. Both fields are pretty strong, too - whoever wins this weekend in either one will have to wade through some tough competition.

Just finished running third round, 74 cars made time runs in Stock either yesterday or today. A couple more teched in, but didn't run - maybe just wanted the grade points. Tony Goodman was #1, -1.41 in H/SA. Density altitude is still showing below 1,000 feet this morning, cool and overcast.

Pretty fast up here; track in good shape with 'Redman' prepping the starting line. Strong turnout from Div 3 racers.

Beard...don't know when you were at Norwalk last, but overall track improvements putting Norwalk in 'premier quality' national event category

The official final qualifying results haven't been released yet - they are waiting until tech officially closes at noon. Final count on Super Stock appears to be 111 cars, picking up five more overnight.

I'll have the final order and ladders up as soon as they send them to me - am across the track from "the mountain" and have to wait for the timing crew to fax the sheets over.

Ladders and final qualifying are now posted on DRC. Enjoy!

Oh, yeah, carefully checked all the cars before posting - what you see is what was on the qualifying sheets, so if there are any oddball combinations of class and car type, call Race Control...
