I think with all the rain we had, they did a great job. I'm local and would rather run it like that than try to do it all over again another weekend. There have not been many dray days around here lately.
Btw, Tony Wood did a great job. Congrats!

Time trials are highly over-rated!!

Sure wish we would've give everybody a time run...then I could have seen the sun come up two days in a row without sleep in between...

Not only was there no time runs for the Tulsa Saturday race. There also was nothing even looked at during check in, there was no one asked to go across the scales, there was no gas checks, we were told there would not be heads up runs, and we were paired as we pulled to the lanes. Also second round started around 1:00 A.M. and the last round was after 4:00 on Sunday.
In other words it was just a bracket race and since I don't care for bracket racing, I will not be returning to this race again.
Thanks

isnt that what this is, with the exception of a heads up run here and there? if you want heads up go race pro mod

I believe the reason the did away with the weighing and fuel checks was to help speed up the process. If there's no heads up races then it really is not worth the time it take to do it. The last final was @ 3:31 Am sunday morning, my son was in it winning Quick Rod....

Rick,

Congrats on your son winning Quick Rod! I guess he was young unough to stay awake that long?

Rick4310 · 06-25-2007, 11:11 PM

Yeah at 4 cars there was a 17 & 18 yr old and 2 night owls used to the all nighters Slate Cummings & Troy Williams..
