Melanie quickest and fastest in GSA Q1

[smokemasterJ]

Well she just bettered her own record.... 5.772/258.37. Somehow she brings something to the table that RB didn't have in driving that Studebaker!

5.772....

It's a '53 Vette, FYI.

Congrats to Melanie, Steve Petty, and the team!

Melanie makes history once again!

Mike Castellana also ran a 5.82 to take the quickest pass in nitrous GSA history.

A day full of huge runs!

"11:20 a.m. - Weather conditions: air temperature 71 degrees, relative humidity 36 percent, barometer 30.01 inches, adjusted altitude 1,154 feet, track temperature 107 degrees."

That is what DRC had to say during the last round of comp qualifying yesterday.

I don't know where I got the Studebaker thing... but hey she still broke her own record!

Mike Castellana's .82 today and Mike Janis' .83 pass yesterday were more impressive imo. Congrats to Mel, but I don't care for turbo's!

Why is Melanies 258.37 listed as the record over her 258.71 on DRC?

ENGLISHTOWN - Pro Modified Qualifying, Final Order

Brad runs a 5.77 at 258 and Castellana runs a 5.78!!!

Mike Castellana's 5.781 is the run of the year so far. WOW!!!

Leah Pruett Leduc also rolled it in the sand trap after very late chutes and Radford also brushed the wall in the shutdown after his win...

That track does not have a long shutdown! Lot of cars have hit beach there!

Lot of cars have hit beach there!

Some camp out there, too. Geezus, a .433 light. MELANIE! Doncha know you ain't supposed to be doin' that?

When a turbo car throws down a huge number is doesnt surprise me anymore. Its clear they have a huge advantage and I think its going to really hurt the class. Just my opinion. They havent won only b/c of driver error all year.

Mike C's 3.78 out of a nitrous car is INSANE! Def. Run of the Year so far. I still cant believe it.

5.7 Doorslammer run, 5.7 Nitrous Run, Eddie Krawiec hanging out on the starting line w/a couple Pro Mods during the Leah Cleanup, am I sure this is June and the NHRA SuperNationals because I feel like it's October at the Shakedown
