Joel,
If they've stuck with this story so far...it's safe to say they enjoy a good train wreck!

Just when it looked like we were going to get through some cars in a hurry, Colorado's Darryl Yost pulled up in his small tire 69 Chevelle with it's Pro-Charged 540 BBC. Now, last year Darryl's Chevelle featured a G-Force 5 speed behind said BBC, so it was understandable that it used up a little more than the 1320 on each pass, but for 2016 he opted for a power glide. Unfortunately he never got any advice on suspension tuning, so the thing is still as loose fore and aft as most 396 four speed Chevelles were set up back in the day. The resulting pass saw him miss the 1/8 mile foam blocks by inches, still at full song, tiptoeing down the center stripe. The 1000' blocks weren't so lucky, but he did lift and make it back in his lane after sending them to the great beyond. Maybe the Indy crew has more practice at the former, but I found it odd that they could consistently drag and spray the first 60' in six minutes, but it took eleven to replace two dead foam blocks! It was 1:41pm, and the prevailing consensus was that we would be shut down by three...I was starting to get nervous!

A couple of pairs later Drag Week went full on Freak Show when Greg Trapnell pulled up in his "three wheel motion" purple, injected, on nitrous, Holden Monaro beside Vinnie Barbone's outrageous 454 SBC powered Geo Tracker. This kind of crazy stuff only happens on Drag Week. Vinnie fed a plate nitrous system through his small block and delivered on his promise of a nine second Tracker with a 9.91-133. Trapnell let the Tracker leave first, then ran him down on a great pass, but a hot dog wrapper through the lights scrapped his ET. slip!
