With the double divisional starting Wednesday, I doubt many will be leaving.....

Alan

bode, creasy and haddock, close but no cigar.
congrats to blake on his 3.95, in only his 2nd race as owner/driver

I love seeing Chip King getting that first run in the 5.50's! The man has been in Pro Mod the last 26 years and always with a Dodge product. He was in the 8th pair of cars in the very first NHRA Pro Mod qualifying session at Gainesville in 2001.

So was it a case of greed or track prep for the fuel cars traction problems today.

There's nothing wrong with the track prep. There were good runs made. All of these tracks have a personality. Also, with the good air, it's easy to be overtuned.

Tony Wilson in the booth for PM E1 and doing social media for the nhra pm pages is doing an incredible job

Qualifying sure didn't live up to the hype especially Q2. Lots of excitement and drama though and really fun seeing all the part timers and a first timer that showed up. Missed seeing Zizzo Racing. Track will be warmer tomorrow but we'll see what all the nitro teams learned, might be really good racing.

 

[LoPony]

He seemed shocked and not even sure how to act afterward.

There were some other 5.60’s but nobody busted it but Chip.

 

[J. S.]

That was a surprisingly poor 1st Rd of the fuel classes. Was it a one-lane track today?

 

[Butch]

Don't know, Dragrace Central must have somebody's grandchild toddler running it today

 

[jgrigz]

What channel did the race change to after the semi round

 

[yoda]

So, Team Scrappers get SemiFinals loser money or what? They DID make 3 passes on Sunday, after all...

Whats the estimated cost $$ per pass now? Still Five grand? Ten grand?

Austin Prock’s comment that “Bob Tasca is the BEST boss I’ve ever had” just reinforces my disdain and disgust for the whiny little bi***. If JFR wouldn’t have given him a chance he wouldn’t be where he is today!

Completely agree Chuck

- only (4) FC races yesterday where both cars made representative runs to finish line.
- regardless of austin's ill advised comments, it's really something to watch them this year.
- shawn reed's 4.16 in TF semi's was only run out of 3.70's all weekend. 6 solid runs in a row in 3.70's until then. shawn, ryan elliot and team
- don't look now, but will smith has the most points of any pro scag team car (5th place)
- D5 runner j. diekama with heads up AA/S win in STK .... he was part of 'in the lanes' the other day too.

Curious if Jasmine Salinas was compensated for her solo run in Lane round two

Why would she? it was unfortunate circumstances/technical error. I think it's just bad luck and if you want to re-run it, you gotta pay the bucks.

Wasn't her fault although she could afford the mishap and maintenance cost
