Just got home, we had to pull ALOT of clutch and power out to get mt car down the track, the conditions were just not right for us to lay down a serious number and to be quite honest, we dont have enough experience on slowing the car down enough to run on a slippery track in the heat.(the GSCA were doing what they could as far as track prep goes,we were just overpowering it) We did manage low qualifier with a 7.58 at 183 and I won the super16 turbo class (with 2 bye runs and 2 competitors redlighting!, talk about luck!).Borellis car had a bunch of minor issues, I just dont think they had enough time to get it all worked out, I sure would have liked to see them run! Dan Whites red car went 8.0, Jim Rock had a new car there, I dont think he got a run off, John Schmidt was there with the Opel, he apparently had mechanical issues, Jim Dotson ran some 8.20's, Bob Peterson and Allan Liverman (sp?) both ran mid 8's
After much controversy with our TSO entrant due to our interpretation of the rules, we were allowed to race it, went 8.81 at 158.8 for the best run of the week with a fairly lousy 60ft so it is promising considering it is the first outing for the new combo,Jeff got alot of experience driving and thrashing, Dan Strezo won it in Joe Lubrants car, I believe they went 8.7? Congratulations to Joe and crew!
We all had a grat time and are already making plans for next year.
