Too many cylinders?

Thanks Toby.

Greg, I have been told the same thing by many racers here. I guess it is kind of funny.

Larry, not sure what happened to Frank on the first pass, but his second pass was good.

Here is the in car from Bubba Linke.

Sad.

How is this any different than in years past?

Well day 1 of racing at the Gators is a rap as Rich South ended up #1 in SS -994 and Drew Skillman was #1 in Stock with a flag raising -1.192 run. Stock starts out in the morning with round one. It's neat to be with Rich and Ralph for our "Over the Hill Ohio Gang" tour and end up being #1 qualifier. Well we get a bye in round one and will race the winner of Wilson vs Heuwetter match up for round two. Ralphie is cooking supper, I'm working on stats. I'll try to post more tomorrow.

BTW we are in "Witness Protection mode" also with Rich's car

Toby in the past a lot more have pushed a lot harder. With those conditions you should have had more cars a second or better under.
Now fear rules, very few will go and set records.
I predict a lot will dump class to avoid the look.

Toby Lang · 03-10-2011, 09:33 PM

Well, whatever the trigger point is people will try to stay under it. If it was 1.15, people would be going 1.14 under. If it was .90, people would be going .89 under etc ...

Same as it's always been since the AHFS was instituted.
