Qualifying from KC Nat'l Open

Tom Meyer · 10-18-2009, 08:32 PM

Records set Larry Schmidt SS/OA 11.30 Greg Greening H/S 11.09 Tom Meyer GT/JA 10.43 Jim Voth GT/E 9.77 Paul Anderson SS/F 9,85 I think and Jamie Greening SS/TA 9.49. Most cars picked up sun morn. Combo race sat nite had 18 cars. Three cars split the final money when it got to late and got very wet out were Tom Meyer, Dan Eichem who had the bye and Nick Siebert.

It was wicked air. First time I've raced in below sea level corrected. Wheelie bar took a beating!

As I sat in staging shivering (38 degrees) with dew soaked windows, I thought NHRA's motto should change from Dedicated to Safety to Dedicated to Getting the Race in; I had the opportunity to watch Troy's A/S from the water box in the second round wondering about the "hook" and even if I had the cojones to go down the track....as he stood it right up and hauled off I figured I could get down the track as well...what a show

Couldn't agree with you more Randall. The race ran much later than it should of Saturday evening. I let the coordinator know that when the dew point is reached our cars are not safe. Too much power vs weight and tire size. It was wagging the tail round 2 and I had to shut it off but got lucky. Round three the car drove out of the groove and I clutched it and called it a night. Even I'm not that fearless.

Here's 2nd round qualifying Saturday...
