It might speed up each session, but assuming it doesn't rain, they are being given four time trials instead of two...

Mr Derby City the nice thing about NHRA racing is your not required to watch. If you don't care for the super class cars don't watch us. ,I don't care to watch the s/ss cars run 1000-1100 feet and shutoff but I don't feel the need to make comments about how they choose to race I just don't watch and mind my own business.

Butch, I was told that stock and super stock would run in lanes 1 and 2. I have some pics from tonight but they are still uploading. Internet must have slowed way down. Didn't have any problems earlier today.

Sprinkles now from dark clouds overhead, cross your fingers !!!


Jeff Hairrington lost an engine in his motorhome 60 miles from the track. Michael Brand to the rescue. Michael picked up the family, dog included, trailer and contents of the motorhome and got them here in time for tech. Jeff and family are camping at the track.


Does anyone have a sweet deal on a new 8.1 GM engine for Jeff?

It has stopped raining at the big end of the track. They have been vaccumming for a while. It looks like we might have a little window to get in just a little of racing and then it looks like there could be lots again this afternoon. There have not been any announcements on the radio of any changes yet.


We had a very nice dinner last night hosted by Wendy Tysinger and her Co. Tysinger Productions ( I think). This is Joe and Alice's daughter. Here are a few pics from last night:



That is Wendy in the middle and Mom Alice. Also Abbey, Bob and Kathy Bagley and another friend of Wendy's.



Jim Marshall, Theresa Cook, Pam Marshall and Tom from Honda



Larry and Rusty Cook. Rusty is the Division 2 rep in Super Gas for the Jegs race in Chicago. Congrats, Rusty!



Roy Hill and gang! Mike and Heather and a couple of other guys that I am sorry I can't remember their names!!



Jeffery, Christian, and Joe Tysinger

Two on the right are Renee and Gary Bingham - Renee will be on the clocks this weekend and the two of them are the heart of Godspeed Ministries - the IHRA and PDRA RFC equivalent. Good people. Gary was IHRA Top Sportsman champion a few times, runs Top Dragster now whenever he can fit it into his schedule, also does tech and pit steward and race director stuff for PDRA.

Good for you, but this is the Stock / Superstock section of the forum. In my opinion Drag Racing is a contest between 2 cars, not 4. BTW, I don't care for 1000 foot racing either.We agree on something....Yippee. ,!!
