Inaugural Great Lakes Nationals

[Axman]

Ooops you are right. I somehow forgot about the Kalitta juggernaut.

What a fantastic 2nd round of the bikes. Massive upsets. Im not familiar with Ronnie Procopio, what is his background story?

I believe he’s aboard Jianna’s bike

Wow identical et's and speeds for Hagan and Beckman. Last time I think I saw that was Schumacher and Dixon(?) at Pomona one year.

I saw that too online. What did they say on the broadcast? It seems impossible to have identical speeds and rts when they are taking it to 4 decimal places on the et.

Btw, I like the 4 decimal places! I know it’s totally unnecessary but I still like it!

wonder if US131 is now the track with most 340's at single event? and maybe 3.60's too?

It's definitely the track with the most 346 mph runs. Stunning day for Langdon. Every round was ludicrous speed.

Okay that's fast but reaction time and the elapsed time win races

Its funny I use to say the same thing when the old Firebird scoreboards only went X.XX It always drove me nuts because to me there is a "huge" difference between 4.00 and 4.009.

greg hunter and doucette racing get the diamond wally!! when is the last time doucette racing might
have won a national event wally? if ever? edit: topeka win 2013 w/bradshaw driving

I'm so proud of the Doucette team. They were solidly in the 5.20s for five runs.

I stand corrected - you can trust HULU Live Guide about as much as you can Michigan weather

I think because this is a re-schedule, and they're on at a new time it seems, the GUIDEs don't update real-time unfortunately.

3rd FC win ever from the 16th spot. I recalled Bob Gilbertson from 2000 in Houston (and some "phantom" red-lights!), but I did not recall the 2nd, Del Worsham, St. Louis 2003.

Del finished 4th in points that years and Jordan has been on fire all year so these two are not as big a surprise as Gilby. You need some luck to do it and Jordan got his lucky round early but earned it the rest of the way

One of the announcers said it wasn't just to 3 places, 3.864. It was identical to 4 places.

Holy **** Langdon and Brian Husen!!! 346.95!! and it was moving around!

Huge back-half power in that car's tune - 45mph in the last 7/10ths of a second - that came on probably around the 500 foot mark or so. Everyone loved it. Just hope NHRA and Goodyear loved it. In comparison, Clay Millican ran 3.62 nearly 20 mph slower, over 8 years ago (Brittany, 3.62, a year later). A monster engine tune compared to bellhousing magic.

We've all said "that's it, there's no more, the limiter", etc. but yet there always seems to be more. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if Langdon's record has finally reached its limits.

Someone here posted that Langdon had gone 348 in testing, seems now that that could've absolutely happened.

to haul to rockingham tomorrow.

I wish at least one of the team transport drivers would vlog their travels like the nascar/nastruck and IMSA teams do.

just tune into ken miele's class racer channel on youtube. he vlogs all his races, and he's a stocker, so it's interesting
to see where they stage at various events, often showing movement from staging to pit parking. he usually will do
videos of the pits before everyone is there, and when everyone is there. he also vlogs his departure from track and
haul home.

I tuned in to FS1 by accident last nite & got to see all but Rd 1 of T/F. Saw the times on Drag Race Central. I wanted so much to see 347, but -that- close. For whatever reason, thought of Garlits at Ontario in 1974, ran 247 and that was fast. OK, where is 350?

I’ve seen a couple of Ken’s videos, but I can only take so much of his voice.
