the cars have arrived, unfinished business

[Cliff]

Well, this one was black on the bottom..... blue wings are a nice touch.

 

[Rajunz]

His Drag Pak Challenger........

Now let's just sneak this one in the field in place of the Toyota.......

 

[Butch]

Yep just put Toyota on the windshield. After all its OK in Pro Stock. LOL

 

[Quesadilla]

Looking at round 1 WJ obviously figured something out that the others didn't. Over half a second on the rest in identical cars...how is that possible?

 

[Cliff]

Nitrous.....

 

[ironpony]

He is "The Professor" for a reason

IMO he is probably hitting the shift points based on his experience, none of the other drivers are use to shifting.

Shirley slapped a gate job on Big.
WJ obviously did something right with his 14 second pass.
Too bad the stands were pitifully empty all day.

Not quite ...
BIG .289
Shirley .687
In fact, Shirley had the worst RT of anyone.

Hes my pick PTW

Hes my pick PTW

I had him picked earlier in the week. Unfortunately they ran it before picks closed now many probably switched to him.

I guess Garlits’ car was way down on power because Shirley had a good lead by the time they got past the tree.

 

[r2]

You know, you sit in a white car once and it follows you forever...

Swamp Rat 12 was simular as well Bob. So I get it, but don't. lol Garlits went in deep, Shirley made him wait, and wait - then stuck her tounge out or most likely flipped him the bird on her way by.

WJ is messing with tire pressure, it's an old trick. He may or may not have had previous traction control experience as well. - wink

Yeah, strange.
You wouldnt think identical bone-stock cars would be 2 seconds apart on ET

 

[Frank]

It's just sad. Legends of the sport in four door front wheel drive camrys. I guess it could be worse. They could be on electric scooters with baskets on the front from Walmart.

 

[Cliff]

Oh I dunno. If you add a bigger motor to the Wally World cart, big tires, spoiler in the front......

And The Ace's car smoking on the way down the strip....if it was Haddock it would have oiled down the lane
