Not a big four wide fan but watching four Funny Cars going side by side with all the candles lit for all the marbles was pretty exciting. And watching Rick Hendrick say John Force was his hero.

Prock 3.87 332
Capps 3.92 327.5
DeJoria 3.933 327.9
Hagan 3.939 329

Best race of the day for sure and Garlits (who's looking good!) being there was great. But for whatever reason the rest of that race (watched on FS1) left me wanting. Just couldn't get into it at all.

How about Scott Farley first round. It didn’t make the full trip, but he was only .007 behind Shawn Landon’s 3.72 numbers at the 330’ mark, and it ended up being the 2nd best overall 330’ of the entire round. 3rd best 60’ of the round. They have to be thrilled with those sort of early numbers. A great addition to the notebook to build off of for next time out.

Rob Flynn knows his stuff.

Also- Austin Prock put half a tenth on the other cars in the final. Yeah, a couple others rolled them in 1 or 2 numbers, but that 3.870 was a stout run.

Bob Peck was helping Farley, not Rob Flynn.

Bob Peck was helping Farley, not Rob Flynn.

While I’m not sure who was helping, they said Rob Flynn was during the NHRA.tv broadcast.

They did say that, but they misspoke. Rob was there, but helping a different part time team.

I really lost interest with two in a row of 4-wide. Glad it's over for a while.

Aaron Stanfield dnq…Elite is definitely struggling.

EE got her crewchief back, is it John Vandergriff? (my memory may be failing me here on this one, he’s the guy that had the double lung transplant.). Anyway, since the person in question is back, Erica’s car immediately picked up and I expect the rest of the elite cars will follow suit soon.

Edit. It is Mark Ingersoll, not a Vandergriff.
What is the relation to Buddy Ingersoll, if any?

Well they have a month to figure it out, since there is no more pro stock, for awhile and by the way does anyone know what was the big pro stock meeting about, mentioned during the streaming broadcast, that apparently ticked off Chris Magaha

I'm sure she was pleased with a 6.52 and especially the .019 RT. But bear in mind the primary reason for the pickup was the DA which helped everybody in the house .02-.04.

Still hate 4 wide. Oops.

Ditto, now that this 4 wide circus show is over for a while, lets get back to real racing and I'll actually pay attention.
