AA/S Mustang, 9.37 @ 147 and change, I'm glad NHRA gave them HP! Made a big difference, didn't it???

SuperStock was just out for their first pass - most were like the stockers - 4 to 8 slow. Joe Garbarine set the first leg of the GT/FA record at 9.60 .

And we have a guest in the house - Evan Smith formerly of New Jersey came up from Florida to visit with his friends to catch up with the racing action here in D1 - welcome back Evan .

I think the out of order post problem is something that Ken is working on.

Good luck to all, I am headed to Epping at 5 tonight.

Hey everyone, well its been a long day and as you can see jack has not posted any updates for a while. Sad to say but Jack broke today, and it does not look good. I'm sure he will be on with more details but he looks to be done for the weekend.

Today was not as fast as I thought it would be. The air was pretty good about 2100 feet, with low humidity. Some guys ran pretty well, but most were slower then they thought they should be, as was I.

Tomorrow there is no qualifying, we go straight into eliminations for all classes. The will start with the super classes and then the alcohol and comp qualifying, then us. Rain is foretasted for sunday, so there are trying to get it all done for tomorrow.

I heard that it showed on 1320.com today that Gary Richard ran 9 something in his new B/SA Mustang. Any truth to the rumor?

I heard the same thing but the run was DQ'd.

Ken Miele · 09-10-2010, 08:42 PM

Gary did not have the right weight in the car for B. They did not count run.

Here are some more photos from John DiBartolomeo DRAG RACING ACTION Magazine.

Downer for Jack who was so upbeat and was going to report on two events.....
Hope this is only a temporary set back and that he makes it back on the track again soon..

Ken thanks for the update and p/up the live from. and the great pics...

Do you think he lifted in order not to have to run a parachute? Wow....It's unreal how these cars don't make the huge wheel stands like those 67 A/S Camaros....Does anyone of these cars lift the front wheels past the 60 ft. Clocks yet? What's their best 60ft ?

His 60' was a 1.38 and no he did not lift. I had the best seat in the house for that run and the other side of that time slip.
Jack..sorry to hear you broke. Bringing out the 'bird for the rest of the season?
