Well I went to a race, and instead ended up at a car show. Wow. Regardless of brand some very nice cars out there. Only go to spend a couple hours there this morning, ended up being called into work early.

This was my first FAST race. Heres a bunch of pics. Cars ran pretty good, got pretty hot out there. A majority of the cars were spinning and several did get loose out around the 330' area as well.

Thanks.

Working out a timing issue on a very nice MW car.








































Saw this car run in the 11.80 range








One of my favorite cars there. Ran 11.60's on the pass I saw










This SB was running in the 11.80 area as well IIRC. Awesome car!!

Great photos!!!

Its a great event and the turnout is usually real strong. Hot weather and a track that usually isnt great on the first day will hold the times down. The track traditionally got better the ensuing days after some of the night crowd regulars "seasoned" it. Expect better ETS as the weekend unfolds..

Thanks again!

Thanks for the pics

I'd be all-in FAST if I had the scratch.

I still think those L88 Corvettes & ZL1's should be outlawed in FAST.

They won't let aluminum nosed mopars run.

Went out today again. Figured I'd support it and bought a couple shirts too.

A chick in a orange vette won the factory stock quick 8. She went an 11.25, then the guy in the white camaro had kind of a hiccup and redlight, so they reran and she still won, on another redlight.

I got there a bit late, so I dont know who won the FAST stuff, I think it was the white Firebird you see in the pics. It went 10.55, a black camaro was supposed to race him but broke I believe.

The butterscotch duster is one damn fast smallblock. Went 11.60's. The black hemi bee was 11.60's at 123 and some of the 6 pack b-bodies were really moving.

Anyway some more pics. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing these excellent photos of those beautiful machines.

I donīt mind the size of the photos; makes them more realistic.

A trip to a F.A.S.T race is on my bucket list.

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

Couple freinds and I go every year. We only went Friday this year.

The guy with the black camaro in one of your pics almost touched the wall. This was way down track. He said a freeze plug popped out. He was running the black hemi bee [red stripe] on that run.

He is a heck of a good driver to have saved that pass.

Anyhow just wanted to encourage any of you who have not been to a "fast" event to try to make time to do so.

Thanks for the pics!!!!
