Division 6 double header at Pacific

Carguy49 · 08-15-2013, 01:04 PM

Had a great time there yesterday. Talked with many of my friends. Saw lots of good runs and was able to help some friends with their S/G car. Sorry the weather went away just as the Gambler got started. Just wondering, I don't see anything on Drag Race Central yet. Is the weather cooperating and is DRC there to report?? Hope all goes well for everyone and qualifying is very quick. Good luck to Mark Faul with the new combo in the El Camino.

A side note: watched Shawn Cowie spit a blower belt. It is now signed by him hanging on my garage wall. What a class act he is.

It started raining a little after 8:30 for about an hour or so. It's not raining now though.

They were pretty far along in the drying process and were working on getting the top end dry when it started raining again. It's raining pretty hard right now. Might have to go into elims with no time runs as they have a 5PM curfew here.

Thanks for the updates Toby. Looks like the weather is going to win today. That would really suck having to go into elims with no time runs. Especially for Mark Faul with the new stock combo in his El Camino. With an 11 o'clock curfew on Friday, maybe you can get 1 time run before elims. Anyway, good luck to all and hope the rest of the weekend goes better. The weather forecast that I have seen is for no rain Friday through Sunday. Of course, we all know good luck on that.

Toby Lang · 08-15-2013, 03:25 PM

They just called it for today. They said we will get one maybe two time runs tomorrow.

Thanks Ron. Nothing like running a brand new deal with no dyno, lots of updates (brakes and suspension). Break it in on q1. Guess this is what separates the men from the boys!

Looking at the qualifying lists on Drag Race Central,,, it looks like the divisional race outdrew the national event only a couple weeks ago as far as car count. No surprise there.

Hi Toby. Excellent videos as always. With the long time span between rounds I assume there was either a late start and/or several oildowns yesterday. Sorry you are out early, but great videos. Did Bill Parmenter blow it up bigtime and then was Jim Davison re-enstated??

Quick question Toby. Did the upper pit area seem a little unorganized or is it just me?? Had to pick and choose a route with the golf cart on Wednesday.

Seems like a couple of cars didn`t check their dials before they staged. Unfortunate.
