Great racing action and coverage. Looks like I need to step it up in PSO, Lots of quick cars in that class and everyone is only going to get quicker. I accept KD's challenge. If I win, I'd like to take on Jeff for #1..... maybe I'll luck up and your car will explode  Not sure what you guys think but I think it's a fun class that'll keep us engaged with trying to find a little more power between events to try and up the next guy. I'd like to see the list grow to 10 when we get enough interest. Dave is flying, the entire list should be worried about that Nomad. I'm glad I wasn't in todays shark pool.
Congrats nosub on your N-F/C win! I've always liked that Camaro and would like to take it on again in the future .
I hope you do start tinkering around with your FED Robert, we need to run these more often. |

Great pictures Jeff. I enjoyed reading all the results. Congrats to all the winners. I laughed when I saw my driver with his new helmet. It is the right helmet for my blockhead driver but it seems he lost it going down the track. Times are pretty close to what the 55 Chevy ran here as tracks are similar. It hit .33s here @ 43 MPH running at 26V. The 57, time wise, was all over the place here running at 18V. It ran a best time of .594 all the way to much slower .738  ? I was not able to figure why it varied so much. Farm truck was similar but a lot more consistent varying between a .599 to a .667, with a little better hole shot but less top end. Those two had some great match races here. I do have a 4 gear FED that I built awhile ago that might be competitive in future match races for that outlaw class. Would Eagle accept a match race with the 55 Chevy?? That should be a good one. Chevy vs. Dodge. How about my Farm truck vs one of the PSO cars. Any takers? |

With all the street racing I did when I was a lot younger I never raced much for cash. Just did it for the fun of it. Things were a lot different back then.
I did win a total of near 4000 dollars with the Beretta in the one full season I raced it at the track. Of course I probably spent 40,000 to win that 4K.
As it was said in American Graffiti that "wicked 55". Best car movie ever and it paralleled my youth like a book. We used to have rival diners that we frequented and had races every Thursday night on deserted roads. Whole bunch of characters which included believe it or not a guy whose nickname was the "Fonz" and his last name was Fonzarelli. This was well before Happy days.
Farm truck vs Dream crusher sounds like a fun run. Just let the chickens out of the back of it before the race.
