I agree Brett; I was surprised that he went that fast knowing that it would get him HP on Tuesday. Unless, as unlikely as it sounds, he simply underestimated the conditions.

Rumor has it that Chris has a bye run first round and is going to go all out and try to go in the 7's on Sunday Morning since it's a bye run. He told a friend of mine that is shook a little at the 60 foot mark and definitely has more in it......stay tuned....

Would be incredible for sure!

And NHRA posts this insult to the folks that spent time in the Pennsylvania rain forest -
.".........Friday tickets can be exchanged for admission to the Dodge NHRA Nationals on Saturday or Sunday, but the customer is responsible for paying the difference in price...."

Really?..Nickel and dime IMHO.

Do you know what MPH Chris ran on the 8.11? Seeing that he was 165+ at Indy on the 8.23 that he ran on Sunday in Round 1 of the Factory Stock Showdown; I am assuming that he was faster than that on the 8.11.

Tim Carper's BF/S in on the opposite side of the ladder. That's a potential 6-second handicap. I assume that the record handicap is at least 8 seconds.

Has a SS/AH (or old SS/AA) ever run 8.11?

We had two very good cars at the bottom of the sheet, Periard and Totaro. I don't know what if anything is wrong with Francois Hemi car, but I do know Wayne Firehawk got pushed all the way back to his pits. Second hand info. is that Wayne had a wire burn and the car quit. We went up to Wayne pits to get the "scoop" and beat the other reporters to the story. Ya'll know Christmas is coming and we were looking to pad our yearend bonus. Back to the story. When we arrive Wayne has a phone in one hand bent over the rollbar with laptop hooked up. We retreated to the Oaks pit spot a few rigs down from Wayne so not to be a distraction. After about 45 minutes we left. We don't know if he got his car started but the backfires were not as loud and there were less frequent. Hope he got it fixed.


All the time Wayne is working on his car I'm thinking; next year that could be me. I can hardly wait....................... If it does happen like that: just shoot me!

I hope someone does go in the "7"s this weekend. If Chris does not make that run this race, it will be wait until next year when the new engines come out.
