Keith Lynch may be one of the best driver/builder/tuner racers there is.

Charlie sad for Joe that's it. Lynch is running and driving great. Nothing against him at all. If they were factored right it wouldn't be an issue. Joe's car won't run 10.20 at Maple Grove much less Noble.

[Andys dad]

Has anyone (Nitro Joe) ever put together what percentage of stock eliminator runs are heads up?

You think it could be as high as 5%?

Would really like to know.

Have to go rounds to increase your chances - that is for sure.


:-) peace

I agree with this post 100% Keith is obviously a great racer and has a history of doing very well.

I agree. Many years ago, i will never forget in qualifying at Topeka in Stock Eliminator a run that Keith made in his Nova. I remember it like yesterday, he was in the right lane and he carried the wheels past the 330 beam and ran a 10.68 on a 11.70 index. That was the coolest stocker wheel stand (that was controllable) i had ever seen in person and still ran a second under. Keith is a GOOD racer-period.
