Just watched NSS and saw a bunch of nice Mopars run, Doug Duell and Wompin Wedge are there. Nostalgia Muscle Car is running now.

The yellow caddie was really cool.

I just got home about an hour ago. I've never been to this event before. I've wanted to go for years and finally pulled the trigger this year. There are some really nasty cars at this event.

I introduced myself to nss guy; we spoke for 5 or so minutes. He's local to me and I've seen him at events for years but have never spoken with him. Come to think of it, I've never knowingly spoken with any of the members on this board in person.

Seeing Boosted GT make some passes put the Street Outlaw cars into prospective for me. If you can start to power the wheels up at the 330 foot mark, you're making some power. If you can do that but not beat a lot of other cars on the list or people from other towns, it really speaks to how stupid fast some of those cars are.

I had a blast.

I noticed theat Kurt changed tire dragging machines after Pro Mod and that may have changed the track for some.

Yes it was, didn't work out to well for his opponent, played his little game and still got tree'd.

Goss just got beat.

It looks like a fun race to attend.

Doug congrats on the good day for sure. Enjoyed talking to you.

Yes the Red Vette was there and running like poo...We have been chasing an issue since Friday night qualifying in Chicago. We assumed the issue was a tire issue. Unfortunately that is not the case. So chased it all weekend. Car just would not respond to any changes to the chassis we threw its way. Looks like we have a bad rear shock so we just did the best we could. Worst 60's we have had in years with that car. Only good news was it was working pretty well from 1/8 on just could not get the 330' down to where it should be. You know its bad when in Q3 everyone sets a personal best and for the first time EVER we blew the tires off. That car has never done that.

Car is headed to Vegas now for some changes and hopefully we can get the shocks turned around quick. Odd ball shock size to be sure. Oh yeah and having to race Thiessen Rd2 was not our best option If we could have qualified where we should have we had a better path for sure...Oh well on to Fontana and then we have no idea for next year as we hear it may be done out west..
