Live from Las Vegas -- NHRA LucasOil Series

Jack-try Using www.Photobucket.com -get thier free account-upload the pic to that-then under the pic, the bottom "slot" you can cut and paste it into the "upload photos from a url" when you hit "manage attatchments" on here-that way, the photo is not stored on this site and doesn't clog it up. I know its a pita, but most sites are doing that these days to save bandwidth. and FOR THOSE OF US LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU--WE NEED THOSE PICTURES!! IF THAT IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, EMAIL THEM DIRECT TO ME,
STAGE1SCOTT@AOL.COM.

I will up[load them from my acount, I can get the ones you have right now on this morning, but I will be away from my keyboard for the weekend.

Jack, things are pretty tuff here right now! It probably would have been cheaper for me to go out west with you. I just had to buy 20 acres down the road because I ran out of room to bury "Mason" jars! You gotta hate it when that happens!

We just got our first lick in -- 98 cars made the round in Stock led by Bob Mulry at a whopping -1.59 under in the adjusted K/SA index with his 74 'Bird.Hal Sorinsen #2 in his B/SA 69 BB Camaro at -1.53 (I'll post a pic later)--Don Forester in his jumbo 80 Delta 88 M/SA at -1.38 is #3 --- Jim Waldo in his B/S LS1 Firebird #4 at -1.375 Jimmie DeFrank in his Z10 69 Camaro B/SA #5 with a great-1.373 run ---John Shaul made the trip from D1 with his 64 Fury came in at #6 with a -1.337 run --the F/SA of Steve Wann # 7with his 74 Dart -- Andy is y Kimball with his 66 Fairlane E/S at # 8 went -1.391-- Bob Aceyes # 9 with his 68 Firebird at - 1 307 and at # 10 is Harry Dolittle at -1.247 in his 02 Firebird........S/S coming up soon...........it must be time as Billy just got out of bed........later ..

PS-- Classracer is helping to get some pics posted -- many thanks to Kenny Miele .As soon as I figure out how to resize .
One last thing -- Robert Pond in his AA/S 67 Fairlane 427 went 133.78 in this very ugly air -- impressive , very impressive !!!!

hey folks, you can got to www.1320.com and see live timing from the event, I know I'm watching it right now.
Wish they had a cam deal like Maple Grove did, now that was cool!

Smitty · 11-07-2008, 03:20 PM

1.599 and 1.531 under and no horsepower? That just sucks, NHRA needs to change that crap. This is by no means anything against the racers but I don't know of anyone who's car is that strong at sea level unless they have a totally off the wall combo.

Tony Janes · 11-07-2008, 03:27 PM

Smitty give it up you know the rules, no horesepower at altitude strips

Harry 6674 · 11-07-2008, 04:15 PM

Stock just got their second and final shot for the weekend -- I'm sure no one picked up at we have a huge headwind and a rising DA of 3550 -- after the sheets come out we'll find out for sure .......its ugly ! ! !

"Ugly" is a relative term. To us, that's not ugly, that's just racing in the desert. Welcome to our version of a "mineshaft."
