A bunch of guys had traction issues. This morning is going to be cold which is good for hp, but tough on traction. In hoping for a full 16 car field

Richie took the win again this year with an 8.76 at 152 in the final round against myself. Congrats Richie! Unfortunately I spun the tires giving up any chance of a close race.

NICE,I had some cam sensor issues if anyone heard the fireworks going on at the track.Sounded like one of Walt's Sparkler bombs out the exhaust even though I was only at 1200 RPM. Congrates to Richie on the win .I have a set of WHITE burn out buddies I could cut out and give you, will send them for FREE if you want them JUST PM ME.Just don't know if the magnets are strong enough for an 8 second car.Also D-Day had his car dialed all week.Think I got some things sorted out and did okay considering at 6.30PM Wednesday night I wasn't bringing the car.Nice to see everyone, wish I had more time to chat.Thank You Steve and all the Sponsors I had a great time!

Thanks Steve for all the hard work. Congrats to Richie!!!

 

[RICHIE HIGH PSI]

Thanks!
Good job Steve on getting this all set up.
I would like to thank all of the vendors who put up $$ & parts.

Special thanks to the Hartline's, they have my car dialed in!!

Was great to see everyone again and meet some new people.

Sounds like I missed a LOT of great racing! Got stuck in the vending area again. OH well, maybe be able to do both one day.
Congrats to all racers! Takes a LOT to build & maintain & get these cars to go this fast & bring them to the events!
THANKS to Steve Kessler too, great person to be taking care of things.
BIG CONGRATS to Richie!!!!!!
I still remember when high 9's was the ragged edge for stock blocks. To run 8.71 @ 152 with a 109 block & stock stroke if PAST amazing! I'm planning to give him a LOT of space on our website to show off his achievements! Glad to help with sponsorship & suspension, it's the least we can do. These heads up classes really MAKE the Nat's happen!
Need a big screen out in the vending area with live feed to watch racing.
