Record is official!! SS/DA record is 9.07 @ 147.05 and SS/CA - 8.897 @ 149.41. First " official" street Hemi To break the 8 second barrier.

The air was not conducive to set records but this Ray Barton Hemi didn't know that!!

A big thanks to David and Ray Barton who understand teamwork and gave me enough horsepower to make it happen. THANK YOU !! We made it happen when it counted!

Nice job John on your SS/CA and SS/DA record. Racing is done for the day, strongs winds and rain have hit the track. It should blow over soon, and the rest of the weekend looks great.

I was trying to get a qualifying sheet from todays action, but the rains came and I did not have enough time. Tomorrows weather will be a lot better so I will make it a point to get a sheet posted. I did see there was 116 stockers on the second sheet, more should be in tomorrow.

I tool a few shots in tear down and it looks like all have past. Me or jack should have the numbers up later.

I did get three in car videos and have lots of pictures. Check back later I should have it all up.

The track was trying to get everyone 3 TT's, it went smoothly until the front came thru shortly after stock ran their 3rd. It is raining with thunder and lightening now and they must be done for today.

There is a qualifying sheet, hopefully someone will post it ,116 stockers and I think there are 78 SS'ers

The AH cars ran again and I saw a couple mid 40's

The #1 qualifier in SS is Vic Santos,I think Jeff Lawrence is 2nd

The #1 qualifier in stock is George Yago, not sure who was 2nd

some of this may have changed as both categories have made another run .

Tomorrow will be completely different conditions, we have class eliminations, it should be fun

Hey Jack maybe I missed it but what did you break? I saw you go home and return I thought maybe you had fixed the car

Big Road · 10-10-2015, 07:36 PM

Is it true that the guy in the orange suit was trying to set the record in b/sa with a 150 pounds in the car . How deep can the bull**** get

FED 387 · 10-10-2015, 08:11 PM

I realize this is a Stock /SS column but does anybody have "any " info on Comp Eliminator--- to date so far no qualifying statistics after 3 scheduled rounds, first 2 rounds of elims were to be run on Sat and it is now after 8PM in the east and NADA on any site I can find ---Please. Thanks FED 387

Gullible much?

During all the Dutch Classics I've attending since 2003, all the fans and spectators are seated on the pit side of the track and the opposite side
(what you're seeing in the pictures Ken took) is closed. I've tried to go over there to shoot pics myself only to be told they aren't open.
