First round today at 11:30
Supposed to be free on YouTube, not sure what the link is, be cool if somebody could post it.
Interesting, I noticed Bucky is running an automatic in the psycho Cuda he is driving. Went 1,16 60 foot with it, half a tenth quicker than anybody else in the field.
5 cars in the 40’s, 10 cars between 8.42 and 8.56
Wonder how little oil these guys will run in elims

1,4 and 5 qualifiers Westcott motors
2 and 3 Jason Line motors

went to that link and Super Gas round two was running, now Top Dragster..

Schedule says 1:30 for second round. Supposed to be right after a comp eliminator clash at 1:15. But they ran first round at 11 instead of 11:30, so should be soon.
 
I wish I knew someone who was there, I'd love to have a Hemi Challenge cap.

First pair in the box now.
 
They just went to lownes and pedregon talking! WTF!?!

*Edit - switched to YouTube, all good.
 
Charlie and Comella next round.
Anthony went 1.19 60 foot, Charlie was 1.22, so I wonder( seeing as how Charlie sets up Anthony’s car) if he will put more gear in it for Comella
 
Steve Comella 4-peats with low ET of the meet in the final.

Steve led all the way.

I didn't see Steve's Dad, Chuck. He was my oil customer for years, and a super nice guy. I think he's enjoying retirement!

We are on our way home to N.J.( 11 hour drive one way ) We drove out just for the Hemi Challenge it was an awesome show and worth the trip the rest of the NHRA crap show not so much . We talked to several of the challenge drivers .. what nice cool down to earth guys . McCandless stated he will have the hats available for sale online shortly after the race

Thanks, I'm glad you had a good time. I want to do the same thing you did. I have little interest in the pro classes anymore.
