The first day in Tulsa, the Barracuda recorded a 10.663-125.45, and Randy immediately noticed that Mark Covey, and the blue Buick GS 455 Stage-1, was on his heels, and in the same class as well, with a 10.719-123.28.

Tuesday at Topeka, Randy was only a thou quicker.
Wednesday at Thunder Valley, Mark was a thou quicker.

This is a battle for 2nd and 3rd in class, but really, it's a two year, 10 day slugfest between a pair of proud muscle cars, and proud muscle car owners!

By the time we rolled into Great Bend, Covey was willing to try any thing he could to close the gap on the Mopar, so he put his head together with other guys, and they used every devious, underhanded, GM speed secret they could think of. When that didn't work, they grabbed a hack saw, and cut the exhaust out from under the GS!
