Somebody posted a pic of the scoreboard after Matt Smith went 6.69 @ 202... looks like he's making progress with that Suzuki program

Gaige Herrera, the new V&H rider went 6.69 as well. Fuel cars were supposedly early shut offs in the 280 range with Antron being low with a 3.70 according to Bobby Bennett.

Who was it that used to have the track turn off the finish line board so their numbers wouldn’t be made public?? Fuzzy Carter? Or maybe it was Walt Austin???

That was made on the vtwin. He did go 6.74 at 201.85 on the Suzuki and said he could have easily gone a 71.

highlight of video: ant. 850' shutoff @ 3.67, 301.......wonder how close that was to 300mph @ 660'?

Wow, the Suzukis are really slick. Was interesting to see how quick the bikes are - so far. I predict (uh oh) 6.63 - 6.65 at 204. I still wanna see a 3.59 in T/F.

[mick]

where is pro and/or nitro testing rules at these days? wasn't there a time not too long ago that limited how much you could test?
......... is the difference between AZ testing, PBIR testing, and now gainesville testing, that nhra owns gainesville and is choosing to not make testing
a pay to see event? or are the racers of the mindset they'd rather test without fans around?

Other than Alexis unveiling her new paint scheme, nothing has came out about this week's test session until JR Todd debuting a new steering wheel.
