The Bowtie babies are posting on Classracer.com that there is a low car count among the AH cars and they don`t understand why there is still a Shootout. Their jealousy over the attention the AH cars get is amusing.

i dont think there is really a shootout in belle rose,, i think its a misprint from nhra,, mopar is only doing the shootout at indy this year,, so mopar isnt putting up any money for it
the guy who owns/runs belle rose puts on a good show,, is a racer himself,, and their program is racer friendly,, he probably is just running the hemi cars today for their class run off because he knows fans like to see them compete,, but with only 5 cars there,, wont be much of a show
wofford unloaded on his 63 run and it shifted into 2nd way too early, could be a 55-57 in it, i dont know what henson has done

lloyd's car was spinning with the front end in the air,, like 10 ft out it started blowing the tires off,, bales had that issue last year till he switched to a larger tire,,,, thats why his 60 ft was off,, that wasnt on the back tires

Chuck, that was a typo. It was $50,000 and was tied to the track ownership transition that happened the next day . A D4 thing. BUT never believe what you read on the internet......

In case any of you have been wondering why the "Frito Bandito" hasn't been posting; he was involved in a fatal crash at his job. He's okay but a father & son were killed. This has obviously made a huge impact on him. He should be back on board soon. I for one have missed his humor.
Glad to hear Frito is ok and sad to hear of the fatality
