Same Day Dutch Coverage (with video)

robzneed4speed · 10-21-2010, 11:09 PM

Ok, let me give this a try....Greetings from down in The Dutch.
Thats what can be said about todays action here at The Dutch Classic. The action started off in Stock with some high flying low and record runs. We made it through Super Street and then the sun started peaking and the track started weeping. The action was down from just after 11am until 1:15ish. Then one pair of Super Comp cars went down and so did the right lanes motor, causing more delays and the weepers kicked in to overtime again.
Action started again at just around 3pm continuing with Super Comp followed by Super Stock etc... There is a great field of Super Stockers that made this first round of qualifying and 10 of the 12 Hemi's I saw in the pits made passes. Two notable no shows from the Hemi Shootout are Daniels and Pancake...fill in the blank here...
A lot of cars were still filling the grounds but I was told a lot of the top points earners here in D1 from Stock/Super Stock/Comp are elsewhere chasing points out of Division this weekend.
Here is a video of some starting line action I took today from S/SS. Please tell me what you think, I can hunt and gather more info tomorrow, or leave the updates to the professionals. Thanks guys.

Great video, Rob! I arrived after the first Stock TT. At 4:30p, they cancelled the 2nd run. They announced that Stock will be first out tomorrow at 10:00am (sleep in!).

Very nice footage Rob,,, as is all your stuff on Youtube. Looks like a beautiful fall day at The Dutch. I've got to make it out to Maple Grove some day,,,its on my eastern to-do list, among other tracks.

Did I see it correct? Wescott Jr. 8.34 @ 161!...WOW....161mph.

Just witnessed the fastest passes and biggest wheelstands I've ever seen. I will post full runs later. What I did last night was just a sample and took three hours to do. Can't wait for next round...class eliminations.
