Alan, I think Nate is up there. The Junior dragsters are there for the western conference finals.
Give him a shout.

Not that i'm aware of Alan. Like Dan said, the Jr. Dragster kids have it going on this week.
I'll tell you this though. I'm willing to bet half the field will be in the six-second zone before qualifying is over. That starting line with the cooling tubes is starting to REALLY come in after a year of running it.

If I remember correctly there were 4-5 cars there last week testing, but I never heard any results. Also, If they were testing today that would be a 20 hour plus drive to Seattle, then they would not get parked until Friday morning.

Erica Enders posted on her facebook last week that she was testing up there ... no times were mentioned.
I'm suprised other tracks haven't installed those!

Gaines (I believe) ran a 7.03 on Tuesday and Johnny Gray ran 7.02 on Wednesday. Enders best was 7.10.

I knew juggling "the swing" schedule would screw those guys up. Must be alot easier to test the week before (like they used to) & leave the combos the same going into the next week; as opposed to doing your altitude testing, changing it all back to normal for 2 races, then change it all back to altitude settings again.... Friday Pro Stock Q1 at Bandimere should be ....... interesting.

Friday Q-2 will be better... ;-)
Hopefully a brief Thundershower before Q-1...have it clear up for night time and I'll betcha you'll see 8 sub-seven second runs.
With V running .02 in heat...i'm believing 6.99's a plenty are possible.
Reinhart is gonna owe me hooters wings... ;-)

OK, since we are talking about the Colorado race..... even BETTER than Hooters ~ there's a joint called "Bench Warmers" here in town. Restaraunt, Bar & Grill. I believe they have a couple locations; there's a new one by Centennial Airport. Let me tell you - it is FANTASTIC. The hell with the food; there's more buts than a political debate and more cans then at a recycling plant. GO THERE.

yeah, but HOOTERS has... a better view...
I've been to Bench Warmers and the wings are VERY good... but... it's not HOOTERSShane Gray was testing Wednesday too...he was at the Jet Car Nats on Saturday (him, not the cars...they were trailered at the end of the track).

At the D5 race in June and at the race last week the difference in temp where the cooling lines are and back close to the water box, where the cooling doesn't exist, there is 12* difference. Still at the starting line it was 122*. On the July 3 the DA was 9900+ ft. by mid afternoon.

LOL...yep! What were you doing here?I know it is a bit off subject but I ate at a restaurant in Houston today called Beavers. All the wait staff wore t-shirts that said
Beavers, located just south of Hooters...............
A couple years ago when the corrected altitude was above 10k, WJ said he just saw a couple birds walking because the air was too thin for them to fly
