well guys and girls i am sorry to be late with this info ,but been very busy with alot of things here at the house.anyway here are the results and what happened to the best of my knowledge (i was there) watched the first (and only) round of the big gun shootout between the worlds fastest buicks!
due to breakage and some cars not ready yetwe only had 4 cars in the shootout.:frown:i did not get the times they ran in the shootout itself but do have thier qualifying times they turned into me in order to be in the race.
1.gallina/duttweiller car (driven by lynn freeman 6.75 @ 205.94 mph
2.john schmidt (the riviera) 7.19 @ 184.75 mph he went 7.10 later
3.ALVIN (BIG AL) Isacowitz 7.53 @ 184.55 mph
4.jim rock (driven by mike booher) 8.15 @ 136.58 (went mid 7's later)
5.category-6 ( Bobby Don) 8.32 @ 162.68
bobby don elected to run the quick-16 due to car being down on power
the first two down the track were freeman& booher
booher got the hole shot,car ran really well,freeman used the whole 1/4 to catch him,freeman won,but put a rod through the block and was through for the day.
the final two in round one were big al & john schmidt
both cars staged but schmidt had problems rightaway due to no co2 goining to the boost controller.big al advanced.
here's when racing luck either reaches out and bites you or bless's you.
because freeman could not make the final call big al was declared the winner.
he received $1,000.00 cash dollars and a beautiful 5 foot trophy
freeman won $500.00 and very nice 3 foot trophy
the two runner-ups received $200.00 cash each
i wanna thank all of you who showed up and tried your best to win this coveted title of "the worlds fastest buick doorslammer"
who will it be next year?
we can only wait
