best air

[Chad Rhodes]

It was either 03 or 04, Montogomery National Open. End of November. temps just warm enough for the burnout box to not freeze, no humidity, high pressure. I believe it was -1800ft if I remember correctly. There were at least 40 cars in the lanes being tore down for records. Later that night it was 18 degrees. Shaun LeBlanc and I ordered a dozen or so Pizza's from Pizza Hut and met em at the gate. Cost us $100, but we doubled our money once we came around the corner to where all the cars were being tore down. The track staff had long since left the concession stand. About 10 oclock there was a line from the tower, down the sidewalk to the staging lanes with carbs, intakes, and cylinder heads. They finally finished tech at 6 AM sunday morning. More than half the cars in teardown did not make the call for 1st round
