Great turnout on Saturday, best in several years I'd say. Had a great time! 6 cars showed up to run the KOS small tire shootut. Myself, Lenny Melton w/ his new Hellcat powered Challenger, Scott Cheek w/ his blue Dart, Leon Hudson and his well known cuda, Sheila Bowman in the ex Roger Laudy KOS Duster now sporting blown hemi power, and a (forgive me, didn't get his name) young guy w/ a quick nitrous big block C body. The track was decent early on, but got worse as the day went. I was fighting traction issues...first time using the transbrake on my cuda. Switched to slicks, but still had problems. Rd. 1 was me vs. Lenny...I won. Scott got the bye due to Sheila breaking something in time trials. Leon ran on motor and beat the big C body.
Rd. 2 was Leon w/ the bye. I tried to run w/ Scott's Dart, but got gapped, lol.
Final was Leon vs. Scott. Leon won on a holeshot.
Here's a pic in the lanes prior to time run 1.
