Today was interesting like i side on other thread i seen a lot of drivers in the "witness protection program", lol
between the ladder game chasers, the hp hackers and the rest of the cars running SS & Stock, the only way you knew if someone made a full run was to watch the mph like i do most of the time and just laugh at some that just barley go over 100 mph.

Everybody gets one hit tomorrow and we go for it, i still would love to do a race where nobody see's a qualifying sheet till its all over and see how things would come out on the ladder, lol.

Games and more games......Its no wonder that the fans go for a hot dog when the class cars run these days. The fans probably would rather watch "engines on a stick" or S/G than this mess. You guys are your own worst enemy with this and you wonder why no one in NHRA cares and you cant get spectators to fill the stands.

well its saturday morning and its 57 and overcast and it looks windy.
the game plan is everybody gets one more Q round and we go for it.
I did see one thing that was interesting yesterday, when T/D & T/S got ready for there Q run i seen a lot of racers in the bleachers watching. I was one of them to cause I have a lot of customers in Top classes myself.
Well we will see how much of this we will get through today.

99% of those people heading for the hot dogs when class cars come out don't even understand the ground rules of class racing anyway. They sure as hell don't know about the "games" going on within.

Come guys, could we stay on topic and talk about having a good time at the races. Its a live from, not a what's wrong from.

Be back, they just called stock.

A few pictures of the staging lanes. I was kind of rushed, but I will go around the pits and get more now that things have settle down.

Ken,
Great pics and videos...got to be a market for these somewhere. Very professional.

[X-TECH MAN]

NIce video of James Nova. Runs great for a small block....lol. It looked like he ran it all the way thru. The camera/vido deal gets the blood pumping. Darn wished I was there.

Qualifying is over and we are ready for round one of all eliminations. The ladders are posted on drag race central and the sun has came out, nice weather for a bit.
