Bradenton testing coverage

[Just Paul]

It’s going to be all or nothing fast tonight. Prock 3.79, Doug or Brit 3.63

Does it seem like we are getting a higher than normal percentage of "full-pulls" here in testing? Frequently, testing is a race to 60' and then idle down the track. Glad to see there are many 1000' runs being made.

Nailed Prock, just missed the TF ET with Brown's 3.64

 

[M Jones]

Yes he's there. There was a video also showing him sitting with the other drivers when they had the autograph session.

Thanks, glad to hear

The rumors of Grubby’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

When I 1st. saw the JR/Kallita FC, I thought it was an old pic of Scotts car. Very cool looking car.

they spent quite a bit of time prepping track before PS Q4, then stanfield with 6.49…….then i’ll bet another 20+ minutes prepping again for fuel classes. was long wait. did not disappoint. almost all cars with full pulls. was an amazing session

Watching these guys do cleanup makes me appreciate the efficiency of NHRA Safety Safari after Antron blew a tire.

Looks like the track personal are prepping the track and the Safety Safari are there for accidents/safety.

Question. I've seen this brought up a couple of times and it got me to wondering. I understand that this event requires entrants to abide by standard NHRA safety rules but what's the criteria for rules that affect performance? Do they follow NHRA rules or can you run with less weight, more wing angle, more than 90% nitro, blower overdrive, laid-back headers, etc.? I wouldn't think so but I'm not sure.

Pretty sure the cars are 100% NHRA legal. Otherwise all the runs being made wouldn’t really offer helpful data.

That would be my opinion but on more than one occasion I was told it was somewhat of a run-whatcha-brung event. Didn't sound right to me.

Mike Dunn said the cars are all Nhra legal including engines, etc.

 

[Butch]

I think it would be stupid to go and not treat it somewhat like a test session. for the Gators.
