We made it but barely, .81 under the index makes for a 116 qualifying spot. 171 show upped and only 128 are taken.
The COPOs, CJ Mustangs and Drag Packs are incredibly
fast. This performance raises the bar a lot for qualifying, plus the weather has been awful, with density altitude of over 3600'.
We did get runner up in D/SA a 10.64 to 10.74.
I will keep you posted.

I appreciate the support. Eliminations start tomorrow early. One thing that troubles me, I notice
NHRA was covering up or blocking off some of the general admission seats, like you might see at a NASCAR race. This forces you to purchase reserved seats at a higher price. I do not agree with this at all.

They are paying for closing off GA sections. The general section is completely full and spilling over to reserved, then the police/security are up here trying to put people back. Stupid mess to be honest.

Sorry to deter.

We lost first round. This is a very expensive bracket race. Just to share it cost $370.00 to enter, to win $2500.00 plus contingency money.

Oh, we broke out.
