First out this morning was Kevin Skinner, people were flocking to the fence in hopes of seeing the first run in the seven's. Next up was Chris Holbrook he runs 8.11 and you can hear a collective sigh of disappointment by the fence huggers. Later David Barton gets his try to pierce the seven second barrier, but to no avail. Tomorrow may be faster in the morning, lets hope so.
Several records were set today pending teardown.
We go out tomorrow at 8:30 AM, maybe the cooler temps will allow history to be made. For my part I would like to see somebody in the sevens.

I did do a personal best today only to be the second fastest A/SA car.

Congratulations on a job well done by all the record breakers today. No reason for anyone to bash on any of these cars. If it's so easy come and do it better. Otherwise just admire the spectacle of speed that it is.
Great job Jim and all the new record holders and best of luck this weekend.

Teardown is not until tomorrow, and you can still set records tomorrow!! Should be faster since we are starting earlier in the morning at 8:30!

Today was a gorgeous day with blue skies and sunshine all day but it has already dropped to 57 tonight. It should be low 50s when we start out tomorrow. Stock is out first!

More later!

I think the daily schedule on the D1 site says we start st 930, but i believe they announced that we start at 830 ?

I have few videos, the first is Brian Martel driving a 71 SS/AM Duster. It a very cool ride that runs in the low 8's.
