Gainsville Turkey Trot's ??????

[Mike Pearson]

It was a good race. The track personnel did a great job with the starting line. Traction was good all weekend. There were at least 5 cars that were there for records and did not participate in the Sunday race. I was surprised that there weren't more of our Southern Stock Super Stock regulars there.
I think the main problem was the small purse for a combo eliminator race. No one is going to travel very far for a $1000 to win pay out. I got down to 4 cars and only got $50. Pretty sorry.
Congrats to Jeff on another fine win.

Maybe they're not complaining

I wasn't aware they paid that little.
Chad, how much did your car pick up in that air? I have never gone down the track in that kind of air.

Ed

On Saturday I went 10.22 and 10.25 on my 2 time runs. Sunday the air was much better and with out changing anything on my car I went 10.14 on the brakes against Jeff Atkinson in the semi's. There was also a pretty good head wind that I figured at .03 so it was probably .10 to .12 quicker. Had the wind been at our back it would have been mine shaft.

It picked up 11, but I made some changes. There was also a pretty stiff head wind. I picked up .103 to the 660 and .007 on the back half.

That's 61% payback. An NHRA Div. 2 LODRS with 45 cars pays back 36% of entry fees.
