Excellent pictures , you are quite the photographer . 
Looks like Ed cook returned his 6pk runner to Stock ?
Will be interesting to see what happens at the Pure stock drags in September , one run at 11.25 
Yep John. Eddies RR is now a factory stocker. He was going to run a 4 speed car and keep this one FAST, but the car got sold...
11.25?? Out there?? Thats just insane  ...Congrats Julie!!!
Anyone hear how the Hemi RR from Rick Mahoney ran??

If you're talking about the dark blue '68 Factory Stock car it ran 11.39 @ 128 I believe....  
is right , on the heels of the vettes, so I guess a STOCK L88 vette may be running 10's next year ?

Thanks 68shifter for the pictures. Even though I was there, it's nice to see pics from all those different views.

Anyone else remember seeing the mph on the blue rr. Was it 128? That is crazy mph for a pure stock car.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

Just got home. Had a great time out there, that track is very well maintained. It was very hot, air was real bad, all the street tires torn the track down pretty good so traction was marginal, but still managed a 11.44 @ 118 and change. Transmission started to flare up big time a on the 2/3 shift so I didn't push it with many passes.

The road runner went 11.39 @ 124. Just for clarification. His charging system took a crap in the burnout box so we were unable to see him take on the Pennington Vette. 
It went 125.?? on Friday. Tach had the shift pointer set to 7600 rpm

They would have had to take the roll bar out if they were to swap cars. That wouldn't be so easy to do. Plus, one of the cars (don't remember which one) has power windows. No, someone would be sure to catch um if there was a swap going on.
