Just back from the track.
About 200 cars ran the test N tune today.
The air was PERFECT and the track conditions were EXCELLENT.
Our catered dinner by On The Boarder was pretty good too!

After breaking some chassis parts and me running back and fourth doing tig welding repairs, we qualified the Corvette #1 with a pair of 7.63's and top mph of the A-Gas class at 181mph. The Brogie Roadster qualified #2 in NE2. Pretty good day and everyone is still running! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YjWvmhzgCohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV0GPvyYKM |

FYI - this is some of the best racing weather I have seen in a long time! The track is also in EXCELLENT shape. You guys (you know who you are) missed out on ideal conditions.  |

Jim took the Roadster into the Semis in NE2 and our other buddy (Carl Cole), won Hot Rod (the class my dad was running). We had a very good weekend! |
