The show was alot of fun, very well put together with non stop racing in the begining. Cruz's name in the parking lot, Cruz's name in the stands, that who everyone was talking about and rooting for!
We had a huge crash right off the bat right before AA/FC started involving a bracket racer. After a long clean up, and no news other than the rumor of the car rolling down the track, just hoping the driver was ok.
Next up was AA/FC, and shortly into this we had Jason Sanders and his Mr. Explosive scrape the wall at a very high speed, great driving put him back in shape. Later we had Lee Paul Jennings also scraped the wall and got his car back in shape too, both great saves at high speeds!
IN the final was Krabil and Worsham.
We had CIFCA there too, that put on a great show too by the way! There was also an added bonus of great running A/Fuelers in the house. Bill Wayne along with Harry Hustler in the final. Results of the final unknown.
Now heres the confusing part to ME. In a Chicago style racing everyone gets 2 passes the best two in the final. Now it was well after midnight when I headed out to my car and then parked at the timing lights to watch the roofs fly by for the finals. 2 cars came down the track, CIFCA cars, is what I was thinking................but then, 2 more CIFCA cars ran down the track, the announcers voice only a blur. So then here comes what seems like the AA cars final, and Im thinking ok Worsham just won with a 6.02 over a double digit incriment, its a shorter blue roof that Im seeing in the winners lane.
As I pull down the road I hear another car start up, it sure sounded like another FC, and ran a single..........and it was time to head home. So thats it. Mark will have all the results etc on his site soon for the real info.
Id just like to thank Aero Jet for putting on this really great event. It was kinda sad, when the owner started talking, and the PA system started failing, his message lost in the distortion, twice. The PA worked fine for the announcers.....go figure.
Joe Pierce, a usual suspect at Firebird got some recognition at the event too, Grand Marshall, a wally or was his kidding me, I dont know, the PA system isnt always understandable at events. There was a recreation of the Budweiser car on display and the Warren Coburn recreation was also on display.
Kenny Youngblood was at the event also.
