Yes he could do that in the pits for sure.

I think i saw where he said it had "Ludicrous Plus" which has a better battery and he might have upgraded more on top of the weight loss I saw. Probably bottom 10s?

I was able to get the whole thing listened or watched by about 9:30 last night. Rain delay made for a crappy day but they got day one done.

The Franklin went a 30.XX@45 lol

The Tesla Went 10.47@124 and arrived at the hotel for the next day on the same charge he left with.

The Miller/Bowers/Shellehammer Dart went a 9.71 on its first pass.

Low ET was set by Tom Bailey with a 6.21@228 but the Swedes in the Opal went 6.43@230 so that should be a good battle.

The one pass only rule due to the rain ruined some peoples days for sure but plenty got it done. If you ran faster than your tech speed you got an automatic 20.00 ET.

This link should work all week. No subscription needed. Then you don't have to search for the link on Youtube every day.

With you tube you can pause and rewind, I don't think the motortrend app allows that.

Nah. A set of slicks and a diesel genset in the trailer and he's good to go.

Kevin


Fueling or charging a vehicle from the trailer is actually against the rules. With an electric car I think that breaks both rules lol.

Strapping a generator to the trunklid is legal and has been done lol.


I'm assuming that rule is for while in transit? I was thinking for fast charge at the track.

Seriously tho, what else would you need to carry? No maintenance between rounds other than top up the charge and depending on what model, 4 wheel traction. One of those set on kill could lay waste to a large portion of the field.

Kevin
Jeff Lutz had a generator running to keep his car driving on the first leg in 2016. so I guess it would be legal.

No, I fouled up in the registration race, and ended up on the wait list. I never got the email offering me a chance to register.

I think it went pro tree in 2016, but I might be wrong.

I know Matt with the camaro has worked his tail off to be on drag week I hate to see him go out, his last in attempt in 2016 or 17 ended the same way unfortunately so something with his combo isn't happy.

Freiburger was saying yesterday that so many drop out that if you just show up that they wouldn`t turn you away. Apparently they never get the 400 needed on day 1.
