Hey guys I'm a fan of TD a well, and I saw in the line-up a guy from Tucson named Vito Anderson with a Chevy Undercover car. When I lived out there I helped a guy named Vito Adragna from Tucson on occasion, at the time I believe it was Super Eliminator, a 7.90 index. Anyway, any of you Arizonians know Vito, and if he's still racing? BTW, I also helped out his brother Danny Adragna with his TAD at a points meet at Firebird, I think in '97. Real nice guys.

I noticed the Vito Anderson name also, number 773. I think they got the name wrong, because that is Vito Adragna's number. I think they have a problem with his name, they now have him as Vito Adragum. Yes, he is still racing at SIR.

Last year at the LODRS D-2 meet in Reynolds, GA, one of the TD guys ran a qualifying pass that would have qualified in the 8-car TAD/AFD field....

Denny had to Run 3 passes over 220 so he could upgrade to the Alcohol License. He did that this morning. They told us No 5 or we are out for the weekend. Now if he had the Alky license then they would just toss the run. So no 5 till Sonoma. And there is a screw blower in TD on Jim Lutrells Car.

No screw blowers and there might still be a limit to what size roots blower you can run.

I read somewhere screw blowers are now legal, but you cannot run any faster than 6.00. in nhra. When are you guys planning on coming this season Tony??

It would make sense to run a screw, so I could see that.

We will be at St. Louis, Joliet, maybe Cordova, Indy, Dallas and Memphis.

I just put down what NHRA provides me. Different times, different names! It was still that way on the ladders this morning!

There was something screwy with the ladder this morning, or something happened Saturday night. My Brother got put in as an alternate and the person he raced showed that he got a bye, and he was in another persons spot whom we did not race, and neither of the pair that raced won the round.

Not sure what class, but there was a double DQ in one of the rounds.

 

[Jenn]

Not sure what class, but there was a double DQ in one of the rounds.

I'm pretty sure that was Super Gas. One backed out of the beams and pushed the other car through, both left before the tree was activated.

There was a race first round SG, where the winner one by ONE HALF a THOU.

I'm not sure who ran it but that's a time slip you frame.

Yeah, I remember that... it was CLOSE.. I was sitting at 1000ft for that run..

I was in the staging lanes, do you know who ran that race?

 

[Gary H]

Not off hand...

 

[Jenn]

Not off hand...

Cuz that there is a time slip I would LOVE to see.

 

[Gary H]

Yeah, but I'd sure hate to LOSE that race...

 

[Gary H]

BTW, any idea why the door came off the Sylvie TS car? Took a piece of the body off too. And on a license pass too...

 

[stanman]

Yeah, but I'd sure hate to LOSE that race...

I lost a race with a .0002 margin in the 6th round of the divisional at Vegas a few years ago... what really hurt was that I was .000 on the tree!

 

[Jenn]

Yeah, but I'd sure hate to LOSE that race...

Yeah, that's a tough one. But how much closer can you get to winning though? It brings a whole new meaning to "That was a close one" I think Alan was momentarily stymied after that race too.

 

[Nunz]

Wow, another great field in TD at Tucson. Denny Hills No.1 again at 6.06, and they messed up my buddy Vito Adragna's name again! Oh well, with my name, I've had a lifetime of that type of thing.
