I guess I just don't understand racing ain't to the finish line flat out.

Maybe cause most had front brake issues?

Anybody else out there having trouble with NHRA's Live Timing and Audiocast?

Never mind...finally got it rolling. Not the most user friendly site I've encountered....

Ken how do you take pics like this one? I've been trying to learn how to photograph myself from a long distance while I'm strapped in the car and pulling away too LOL!!!!

Seriously I love the pics. Please keep up the excellent work!!! You've got all the drag racing press beat by a mile with your field reports.

Ken, is Dave Ficacci's car a 396 or a 427? BTW keep up the good driving and great posts.

Ken,

Nice to have met you on THursday. Will send pictures to you this week. Keep up the good work in eliminator.

Ken Miele · 03-27-2010, 12:58 PM

Mike, Dave's car is a 396, and a fast one to boot.

Butch, thanks I wish we could have talked more, did not mean to cut you short, but it has been a very busy week.

Gary, that's a trade secret

Thanks everyone for the good luck wishes. My driving, not so good. My luck, very good.

I was in the stands for a bit watching the fourwide. The pictures below tell the story, the place is mobbed. I know some don't like it, but fourwide is cool, I wish we could run class fourwide.

I wish I could give everyone better updates, drag central has all the numbers for everyone so any question you have I will be glad to help if I can.

It was cold this morning, but the bite was killer. Ask Emily Stott, she almost tip over backwards.

If anything interesting happens I will be back, we don't run until late this afternoon.
