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.

It's generally a 20-25% failure rate throughout the week. Only 10 cars dropped out after Day one. Still a lot of the week to go.

Brad ran another 9.3x today, 9.32 I think.

As long as they can keep doing what they are doing I think they have a lock on the class win.

First days mileage was 160 with lots of stop and go traffic. Todays was 220 I think.Hope they can reach at least 900 miles for the week.Wife and I flew in to watch the action at Cecil yesterday.Caught up with most everyone we knew except red light Ross. He was in a second gen Corvette and not his RoadRunner.Hope its not a trend.I will say the number of spectators at Cecil County rivaled the number that Great Lakes Dragway is known for.

2014 was definitely the first year for the pro tree at Drag Week.

I don't think I want to risk getting paired up with a 6 second Esconda, or some other out of control berserko! eek

And besides that, I love racing the coupe, and want to be competitive. drive In 1929, the Duesenberg was a rocket ship. In 2019, not so much.

I was one of the ones that dropped out at the last minute. Was extremely disappointed but I live in the very south east corner of Virginia Beach just above the North Carolina line. The last 2 years we have been affected by hurricanes during the time frame of Drag Week. This year it was right before the storm but had to completely stop working on the car and shift to storm prep and then storm clean up.

I'm sure I'm not the only that was affected, but for anyone living along the South East coastline September is not ideal.

Lets keep our fingers crossed Billy's nephew Billy (Dale's son) is in first place in his class and has a decent lead with only one other car running in their class. Super street big block power adder. 9.883 avg to 11.378 Go Rusty Duster
