Not too many Mopars on the grounds but nonetheless, an amazing display of drag machinery. Seems like heads up racing has taken a few big steps in recent years, there was some HIGH $$$ machinery and equipment. Huge trailers, big name engines and chassis etc etc. Great show and worth the price of admission. Pics in no particular order. Enjoy. 6.28! '71 Duster '17 Ram 1500

Car was definitely bad ass. Did he blow something up towards the end of the day? He had a few new combo blues this weekend. Leaky oil line caused him to miss round 1 qualifying, busted air line caused him to miss round 2. On round 3 he went to #1 spot, covered the field by 3/10's and 10 mph. Tossed a blower belt at the finish. Chutes didn't deploy, overheated the brakes tying to slow down. Ended up going in the gravel pit and broke both rear rotor hats. 1st round eliminations he did a short blip, only on the throttle for 3 or 4 sec and coasted to 7.50ish at 140ish. Tested brakes and chutes on that run. Second round it blew the burst panel. I guess it caught on fire from the fuel coming out of the burst panel and the fire crew dented the fender putting the fire out.

No throttle stop cars, no cars slower than 8.50. Most of them got down the track too, hardly any downtime. And like always at E-Town, the stands tend to resemble an OTB parlor.
