Don't think I will be racing with you guys this weekend frowwn

Oh well I was thinking of going with a little more cam shruggy After doing some calculations it will cost me about $1500 to do the conversion to roller. So I will be going the flat tappet route again but with an EDM lifter deal for about half that money and the same performance gains.
Hope to have it together for Norwalk luck

I thought the turnout was pretty good but not a ton of cars in the lanes.
I left early today so I don't know who won the final.There seemed to some confusion in the classes but every one I talked to had a good time.

It was a good first race back at Dragway 42 with 24 NSS cars - I think Russ Konkowski did a heck of a job putting the NSS race together in such a short time frame! And a Big Thank You goes out to Best Machine Racing Engines for their sponsorship of NSS! - Definately Doug Wright, Mike DeChicco and Jim Guy were on top of their game all weekend! The track is now a real facility and getting better all the time - Hopefully this will be back next year bigger and better!

To add to the NSS Race at Dragway 42 we also had FUN while racing. We secured some extra $$$$ to play with and help support the class. Thanks to BG's Main Event, David Drummond and Joh Josai for putting up cash!!!!

The original plan was to be as below.
1. $100 to the #1 qualifier (from David Drummond)
2. $100 to the longest tow (from BG's)
3. $100 to the closest LOSING package in 1st round of elims (from BG's)
4. $100 to the first NON Mopar to take out a Mopar in elims (from BG's)
5. $50 to the last place qualifier (from BG's)
6. $50 to the best RT in the first round (from BG's)
7. $50 to the worst reaction time in the first round (from BG's)
8. $150 to the first driver to hit a perfect .000 in elimination (50 from BG's and 100 rom John Josai)

#1 went to Tim Helmick as #1 qualifier
#2 went to David Froman longest tow from Carolina
#3 went to Mike Ortel closest losing package
#4 we did not have a non Mopar car soooooo we took that $$$$ and pit a BOUNTY on Doug Wright. First driver to take him out would get the $$ and if Doug won the race he would get the extra $$. Well he did get knocked out by David Froman in a very very very close race. Thanks Doug for being a good sport even though we put $$$ on your head!!
#5 went to Terry Ewing for last place qualifier
#6 we to Joe Ewing for best RT in first round (his nick name is double o Joe)
#7 went to Rob Nobach for worst RT in first round
#8 No one had a perfect light so we added this extra $$$ to the RU winning

Thanks to BG's Main Event, David Drummond and John Josai for the support. Thanks to all that showed up for this FIRST event back at this track in many years and helped to make it a success. It can only get better in the future!!!!

Winner was Jim Guy $1500 and a free dyno session at Best Machine Racing
Mike DeChiccio for his RU
Barry McAbe semi finalist

I did not make it to the show/swap side but heard around 250 cars and there were plenty of spectators also at this race!!!

This show/race was a success for the first time at this track in several years. The race car count I heard on Saturday morning was at 182 and then there were about 10 cars that came in just on Sunday for the race so close to 200 with a short notice was awesome!!!!

I really like the new Dragway 42 and the staff was great. Thanks to Best Machine and special thanks to Russ for making the NSS race possible. I think you might have some promoter talent in your veins,,,but, did you have to add my name in for the last place qualifier?

Great Race and a really nice track.

My car was 1.35 60 ft every hit. Excluding when I broke the rocker shaft and when two step came unplugged in the final.

I had a great time at D42 even with the heat! Russ and the NSS put on a great show, there were a bunch of spectators that sat on the hill and watched each time the cars rolled out. I did not fare too well on track, gave away stripe .005 on Friday, got tossed out 3rd round on Saturday for a fuel leak, then went red on Sunday and parked it. As promised, the Cincinnati boys took home some West Salem money, as Rob Nixon won the No-box gambler on Friday and Saturday, and Don Stahl made it to semis on Saturday and Sunday in Box. It was a very good turnout on both sides, I enjoyed seeing a bunch of race and show cars I've never seen before.
