[QUOTE=Bruce Noland;177547]Craig,
No tear downs. Some of the racers here would have difficulty changing the tires on their race cars muchless trying to go through tear down. nhra will have to hire staff to help these folks tear down, or stick to tearing down the old buzzards, or give up tear down all together.

Now that's funny! I can just see some of the racers standing next to their cars scratching and waiting to figure out what tools they need to just get started on taking the new rides apart so that NHRA can inspec them.

What also would be interesting is if NHRA had 4 lanes of dial in and only one winner out of the 4. Who can bag the best!

Dale,
You sure are a big time snark, but I can tell you this much, I'll never wind up in a nursing home. I know how to take care of business. Now mind your own business.

Okay everyone lets try to get back on track so to speak. Well I got by first round, it was tough to dial this morning, the air was not as good as yesterday.

Some very good racers lost first round, giving guys like me a chance to win.

The fans starting pouring in today for the fourwide, but unfortunately I could not get to watch do to a cell phone issue. I had shoot out to the store and buy a new phone. I know some don't like this new format of racing, but I was looking forward to watching it. I never watch the pro's but I was looking forward to it here. Hopefully I will get to see the second qualifying shot. I understand if most are not interested so I will say no more about it.

Its started to sprinkle, so we were on hold, racing should start soon.

Below are some random shots donated to me for Class Racer.

I see Ed B gave in and put graphics and decals on the car.Nice scheme,though I'm partial to the smooth look.Good luck Ed.

Here are some pictures of Anthony Bongiovanni two CJ's. He had some issues with them and decided not to run this race.

Its started to sprinkle again, we are on hold. I watch the pro stock bikes run, four wide is something to see. The perspective from the racers watching are from kind of neat to its a side show, I thinks its cool, and I was surprised to see how many sportsman were watching.

Boy, the stocker and super stocker were really racing at Z-Max yesterday and today. Does no one realize that not only can you tell at the track that the cars are putting on brakes before the finish line, but the whole race community is looking at the live times and you can see that the numbers don't add up. I guess I just don't understand racing ain't to the finish line flat out.
